Question

A group of students measure the length and width of a random sample of beans. They are interested in investigating the relationship between the length and width. Their summary statistics are displayed in the table below. All units, if applicable, are millimeters.

Mean width: 7.586
Stdev width: 0.877
Mean height: 13.037
Stdev height: 1.697
Correlation coefficient: 0.7814

 

d) If the students are interested in using the height of the beans to predict the width, calculate the slope of this new regression equation. 

e) Write the equation of the best-fit line that can be used to predict bean widths. Use x to represent height and y to represent width.
