The weight of a car can influence the mileage that the car can obtain. A random sample of 15 cars was taken and the weight (in pounds) and mileage (in mpg) were recorded and are in the table below.

350028
350031.3
450019.5
300032.2

a) The symbol and value of the correlation coefficient are as follows:

    Round final answer to 4 decimal places.

    =

    Interpret this value:

  • There is a strong relation between weight and mileage for cars.

b) The symbol and value of the coefficient of determination are as follows:

    Round final answer to 4 decimal places.

    =

     Interpret this value:

  • About % of the explained by the linear model and weight

c) Find the standard error of estimate. Round final answer to 4 decimal places.

     

     Interpret this value:

  • This is the of the residuals.
