Question

For each data set:  
a) Draw a scatter plot
b) Estimate the correlation in words ( positive, negative, none)
c) Calculate the correlation coefficient r.

i)  the following data represent the person’s age and the number of hours a person exercises.  

AGE x        18     26      32    38    5 2      59
 hours y    
10       5        2     3      1.5      1









II) The following table gives the average daily temperature and the corresponding average monthly precipitation for the month of June.   

Avg daily temp   x               86        81      83       89     80    74      64           
Average mo. preecip  y    
 3.4      1.8     3.5     3.6    3.7   1.5     0.2






III)  A study was conducted to determine whether there is a relationship  between strength and speed.  20-year-old males were asked to do push-ups and to run a specific course.
