GROUP 5 (Kayzelle Anne Lopez, Juan Nelson Limbo, Joben Lacorte)

Example no. 1
The grade of 10 senior high school students on a midterm report x and on the
final examination y are as follows:

x 78 72 50 99 68 94 72 81 96 68
y 86 56 65 99 70 84 80 55 99 70

a. Determine the correlation coefficient r

b. Determine the linear regression line.
c. Predict the final examination grade of a student whose midterm grade is 60

 r = 0.6832597762 - There exists a highly positive linear relationship between
the midterm report and the final examination grade.
