Question

A researcher records resting heart rates and systolic blood pressure of six individuals. x = Resting Heart rate (BPM): 23 | 24 | 25 | 25 | 26 | 26.5 y = Systolic Blood pressure (mm Hg): 550 | 695 | 707 | 753 | 897 | 815 a) Draw a scatter plot for the data (doesn't need to be perfect). b) Using ?x = 491, ?y = 725, ?xy = 60 553, ?x² = 42 059, ?y² = 88 451, compute the correlation coefficient for the sample. c) What type of relationship do these variables have?

          A researcher records resting heart rates and systolic blood pressure of six individuals.

x = Resting Heart rate (BPM): 23 | 24 | 25 | 25 | 26 | 26.5
y = Systolic Blood pressure (mm Hg): 550 | 695 | 707 | 753 | 897 | 815

a) Draw a scatter plot for the data (doesn't need to be perfect).
b) Using ?x = 491, ?y = 725, ?xy = 60 553, ?x² = 42 059, ?y² = 88 451, compute the correlation coefficient for the sample.
c) What type of relationship do these variables have?
