- Interpret the least squares regression line of this data set. Meteorologists in a seaside town wanted to understand how their annual rainfall is affected by the temperature of coastal waters. For the past few years, they monitored the average temperature of coastal waters (in Celsius), x, as well as the annual rainfall (in millimetres), y. Rainfall statistics • The mean of the x-values is 11.503. • The mean of the y-values is 366.637. • The sample standard deviation of the x-values is 4.900. • The sample standard deviation of the y-values is 44.387. • The correlation coefficient of the data set is 0.896.

- A study was conducted to determine the effects of organic fertilizer application on certain plant. Four types of fertilizer were applied to the three plant seedlings (21 days old) planted in a 20-inch clay pot. On the fifth week, the plant were harvested and the following data shows the weight in kgs. To test the hypothesis that the four types of fertilizer have same effects on the weight of plant harvested at a = 0.05, the procedure computed test statistic is 5.886.
