The following table shows the average weights for given heights at a fitness challenge.
Write down the quadratic expression 3x2-5x-2 in the form (ax-b)(x+c).
The following table shows the average weights (y kg) for given heights (x cm) at a fitness challenge.
Give your answers in three significant figures.
(a). The relationship between the variables can be modelled by the regression equation y=ax+b(i) Write down the value of a
(ii) Find the value of b.
(iii) Hence estimate the weight, in kg, for height 165 cm.
(b). (i) Write down the correlation coefficient.
(ii) Interpret the correlation between the variables.
weak positive
strong negative
no correlation
strong positive
