Does prison really deter violent crime? Let x represent percent change in the rate of violent crime and y represent percent change in the rate of imprisonment in the general U.S. population. For 7 recent years, the following data have been obtained. x 6.5 5.3 3.9 5.2 6.2 6.5 11.1 y −1.7 −4.5 −6.4 −4.0 3.6 −0.1 −4.4 given Σx = 44.7,  Σy = −17.5,  Σx2 = 316.49, Σy2 = 112.43,  Σxy = −107.83,  and r ≈ 0.0849.  Find the value of the coefficient of determination r2. What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? What percentage is unexplained? (Round your answer for r2 to four decimal places. Round your answers for the percentages to two decimal place.)

Does prison really deter violent crime? Let x represent percent change in the rate of violent crime and y represent percent change in the rate of imprisonment in the general U.S. population. For 7 recent years, the following data have been obtained.
x 6.5 5.3 3.9 5.2 6.2 6.5 11.1
y
−1.7
−4.5
−6.4
−4.0
3.6
−0.1
−4.4

given Σx = 44.7, 

Σy = −17.5,

 Σx2 = 316.49, Σy2 = 112.43, 

Σxy = −107.83,

 and r ≈ 0.0849.

 Find the value of the coefficient of determination r2. What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? What percentage is unexplained? (Round your answer for r2 to four decimal places. Round your answers for the percentages to two decimal place.)

r2 =  
explained      %
unexplained      %
Considering the values of r and r2, does it make sense to use the least-squares line for prediction? Explain your answer.
The correlation between the variables is so high that it does not make sense to use the least-squares line for prediction.
The correlation between the variables is so low that it makes sense to use the least-squares line for prediction.    
The correlation between the variables is so low that it does not make sense to use the least-squares line for prediction.
The correlation between the variables is so high that it makes sense to use the least-squares line for prediction.
