Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    We are trying to find the gradient of the least squares regression line.The Correlation Coefficient is 0.8.The mean of the x values is 12 and the mean of the y values is 30The standard deviation of the x values is 4 and the standard deviation of the y values is 8.What is the gradient?

    Explanation
    The App - rxsys2equ - the gradient only requires the correlation coefficient (r) and the SD for x and y.
