Question 11
Consider the following bivariate data.
X 46 44 52 53 39 48 53 51 49 47
Y 60 60 74 77 51 69 70 76 71 67
Use the regression line to estimate the value of y when x = 50 and comment on the reliability of this estimate.
1 y ? 39.3, the correlation is strong and this is an interpolation, so the estimate is reliable.
2 y ? 70.6, but the correlation is weak, so the estimate is not reliable.
3 y ? 70.6, the correlation is strong and this is an interpolation, so the estimate is reliable.
4 y ? 39.3, but this is an extrapolation, so the estimate is not reliable.
