Hello I need help with problem f thank you!

9. The data shown below reflects the age of a man and a woman at the time of their wedding. The linear regression
equation for this data is
Couples
a.
Alessandra & Aaron
David & Daniella
Gloria & Gabriel
Mohammed & Mariam
Raphael & Rebecca
Samantha & Steven
y = -1.799 + 1.077x
Woman's Age
24
26
29
31
50
33
Man's Age
23
28
33
31
53
29
Plot the observations in a scatterplot. Make sure to label the axes with Man's Age being the response variable
and Woman's Age being the explanatory variable.
b.
Describe the possible association (trend, strength, and shape) in context.
c. Calculate the correlation coefficient.
d. What is the expected age of a woman when her husband is 28 years old at the time of marriage? Round to the
nearest whole number.
e.
Interpret the slope of the linear regression line in the context of the data.
f. Interpret the y-intercept of the linear regression line in the context of the data. Then, state whether that value is
meaningful.
