7 8 7.6
8 11 8
9 10 8
10 12 6
11 6 8.6
12 6 8
A- If we want to estimate the selling price on the basis of age, which variable is the dependent and which is the independent?
B- Draw a scatter diagram.
C- Determine the coefficient of correlation.
D- Determine the coeffiecient of determination.
E- Interpet the measures. Does it suprise you that the relationship is inverse?
