Consider the following sample data: x 12 18 20 22 25 y 15 20 25 22 27 Click here for the Excel Data File a. Calculate the covariance between the variables. (Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

The covariance between the variables is 21.10 and the Correlation coefficient is 0.9285.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hence,

the first one is x^2+2x+2

the second one is x^2+4

the last one is x^2-4x+8

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
