Determine the correlation between the two variables. Does it appear that a relationship between these variables will yield good predictions? Explain. (You may use ExcelsCORREL (RangeY,RangeX) to determine r, where RangeY is the range of Excel cells containing the y values and RangeX is the range of Excel cells containing the x values. You also need R2 RSQ(RangeYRangeX)) b. Obtain a linear regression line for the data. (You may use Excels =slope(RangeYRangeX) and -intercept(RangeYAangeX) to obtain the regression coefficients band a, respectively. Alternatively, use Trendline in the Layout menu.) c.
