Question

Let x be the percentage of 16- to 19-year-olds not in school and not high school graduates. Let y be the reported violent crimes per 1000 residents. Six small cities in Arkansas (Blytheville, El Dorado, Hot Springs, Jonesboro, Rogers, and Russellville) reported the following information about x and y. x 24.5 19.0 18.5 14.9 19.0 17.5 y 12.9 4.8 8.6 1.3 0.8 3.6 Complete parts (a) through (e), given Σx = 113.4, Σy = 32, Σx2 = 2192.76, Σy2 = 278.7, Σxy = 663.92, and r ≈ 0.808. (a) Draw a scatter diagram displaying the data.(b) Verify the given sums Σx, Σy, Σx2, Σy2, Σxy, and the value of the sample correlation coefficient r. (Round your value for r to three decimal places.) Σx = Σy = Σx2 = Σy2 = Σxy = r = (c) Find x, and y. Then find the equation of the least-squares line y hat = a + bx. (Round your answers for x and y to two decimal places. Round your answers for a and b to three decimal places.) x = y = y hat = + x
