5. The following table shows the Temperature and number of visitors to a beach: Temp | 82 | 84 | 86 | 86 | 87 | 88 | 89 | 92 | 94 | 94 | 96 Number of visitors | 80 | 225 | 300 | 362 | 95 | 450 | 525 | 450 | 500 | 600 | 580 a) Draw and label a scatter diagram to show the correlation between Temperature and Number of visitors (6 marks) b) Draw a best fit line (with intercept and slope) and use it to predict the number of visitors on a day with Temperature of 90 (2 marks) c) The Coefficient of Correlation (r value) is 0.8 and the Coefficient of Determination (r² value) is 0.64. What do these values show about the relationship between Temperature and number of visitors at the beach? (2 marks) d) Explain with at least 2 reasons, why the correlation is not perfect and suggest another variable which could also affect the number of visitors to the beach (2 marks)

Step 1
Each point on the graph corresponds to a pair of values from the table. For example, a temperature of 225 would be plotted against 300 visitors. Show moreā¦

The number of daily visitors to the famous 'Bondi Beach' in Sydney, Australia, and the daily temperature on those days were recorded for eight days in February. The table below shows this data and has been ordered in ascending order by temperature. Temperature Number of visitors 20 405 21 448 22 481 23 527 24 565 25 601 27 688 28 729 The number of visitors to Bondi Beach varies linearly with the temperature. a) Find the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. b) Find the equation of the regression line y on x. c) Use the equation of the regression line y on x to estimate the number of visitors to Bondi Beach during a day when the temperature is 26°C.

The data below are the temperatures on randomly chosen days during a summer class and the number of absences on those days: Temperature, x | 72 85 91 90 88 98 75 100 80 No. of absences, y | 3 7 10 10 8 15 4 15 5 a) Find the equation of the regression line for the data. b) Assuming that the variables x and y have a significant correlation, what is the predicted number of absences when the temperature is 91? c) Calculate the correlation coefficient. d) Calculate the standard error for the model.
