The distance (in kilometers) and price (in dollars) for one-way airline tickets from San Francisco to several cities are shown in the accompanying table. Complete parts a through d below. Destination Distance (km) Price ($) Baltimore 3945 277 Phoenix 1046 144 Kansas City 2421 188 Boston 4342 241 Austin 2420 121 a. Find the correlation coefficient for these data using a computer or statistical calculator. Use distance as the x-variable and price as the y-variable. r= nothing (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

The following table reports the distance (in miles) as well as the airfare (in dollars) from Baltimore, Maryland to six destinations. Destination distance airfare Atlanta 576 178 Boston 370 138 Chicago 612 94 Dallas 1216 278 Detroit 409 158 Denver 1502 258 Find a linear least squares model for this data and use it to answer the following questions. To 3 decimal places, what is the coefficient of determination for the model? To the nearest dollar, by how much does the regression model predict airfare to rise for each additional 100 miles you fly? To the nearest dollar, what would be the predicted cost of a flight to Miami, Florida (946 miles away)? Relative to the predicted cost from the model, which of the following destinations is currently the "best" deal? A. Atlanta B. Boston C. Chicago D. Dallas E. Detroit F. Denver

The data table below gives the distance (x, in miles) and the cost (y, in dollars) of a round trip flight from Boston to 11 other selected destinations. It is of interest to determine if there is a relationship between the cost of a flight and the distance traveled. From the data, it is found that the equation of the regression line is LaTeX: \hat{y}=166.75 + 0.08 x and the correlation coefficient is LaTeX: r=0.831. Use this information to answer the remainder of the questions on the test. Miles 206 429 963 1037 1141 1748 1940 2716 2976 2979 3095 Cost 179 99 179 317 334 404 274 289 443 314 397 Which variable in this scenario would be considered the explanatory variable?
