26.18 4.09
28.92 4.79
23.78 4.89
18.24 2.99

a) State the random variables.

    rv X =         of        

    rv Y =         of        

b) The symbol and value of the correlation coefficient are as follows:

    Round final answer to 3 decimal places.

                = 

    Interpret this value:

  • There is a strong           relation between cigarette sales and the number of bladder cancer deaths for countries.

c) The symbol and value of the coefficient of determination are as follows:

    Round final answer to 3 decimal places.

                = 

     Interpret this value:

  • About  % of the           explained by the linear model with         as its      variable.
