In a country in Europe, there is a suspicion that the introduction of ultrasound technology in 2008 has resulted in a large number of aborted girl babies. To test this theory, scientists tried to predict how many girls should be being born, based upon experiences in earlier years. Here are the data: Year:2000, girls born: 1000 Year: 2001 girls born: 1009 Year:2002 girls born: 1018  Year:2003 girls born: 1027 Year:2004 girls born: 1036  Year:2005 girls born: 1045  Compute a simple linear regression to predict the number of girls born, based upon the year. What is the regression coefficient? 07.0 08.0 09.0 10.0 None of the above

Year:2000, girls born: 1000

Year: 2001 girls born: 1009

Year:2002 girls born: 1018 

Year:2003 girls born: 1027

Year:2004 girls born: 1036 

Year:2005 girls born: 1045 

Compute a simple linear regression to predict the number of girls born, based upon the year. What is the regression coefficient?

07.0

08.0

09.0

10.0
