A study is given in which scientists examined data on mean sea surface temperatures (in degrees Celsius) and mean coral growth (in millimeters per year) over a several-year period at different locations. Here are the data: Sea Surface Temperature 29.67 29.87 30.15 30.21 30.48 30.64 31.00 Growth 2.62 2.59 2.68 2.60 2.49 2.39 2.26 (a) Use your calculator to find the mean and standard deviation of both sea surface temperature x and growth y and the correlation r between x and y. Use these basic measures to find the equation of the least-squares line for predicting y from x. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) ŷ = + x (b) Enter the data into your software or calculator, and use the regression function to find the least-squares line. The result should agree with your work in part (a) up to roundoff error. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) ŷ = + x (c) Say in words what the numerical value of the slope tells you. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) Every increase of one degree Celsius means about fewer mean millimeters of coral growth per year.

Apsychology student wishes to investigate differences in political opinions between business majors and political science majors at her college. she randomly selects 100 students from the 260 business majors and 100 students from the 180 political science majors. does this sampling plan result in a simple random sample? why or why not? no, because each group of 200 students in the sample does not have the same chance of being selected. yes, because each group of 200 students in the sample has the same chance of being selected. no, because each individual student does not have an equal chance of being selected. yes, because each individual student has the same chance of being selected.
