A random survey of a small group of high school students collected information on the students' ages and the number of books they had read in the past year. (C14/A14) Age (years): 16, 15, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 17 Books Read: 5, 3, 8, 6, 4, 4, 5, 15 a) Create a scatter plot for this data. Classify the linear correlation. b) Determine the correlation coefficient and the equation of the line of best fit. c) Identify the outlier. d) Repeat part b) with the outlier excluded. e) Does removing the outlier improve the linear model? Explain. f) Suggest other ways to improve the model. g) Do your results suggest that the number of books a student reads depends on the student's age? Explain.
