Use your calculator or software to find the correlation, ?,�, and equation of the least‑squares regression line for predicting sister's height from brother's height, ?̂ .�^. Make a scatterplot of the data and add the regression line to your plot. Give your answer to three decimal places.   

Enter the equation of the least‑squares regression line, with the numerical values rounded to three decimal places and ?� as the explanatory variable. (If you are using CrunchIt, adjust the default precision under Preferences as necessary. See the instructional video on how to adjust precision settings.)
