You are a researcher who is interested in how watching television influences children’s performance in school. You find out how many hours of television 5 children watch, on average, in a week. You have obtained their overall grade average.
Child No. Hours of TV Overall Grade Average
1 5 80
2 20 67
3 6 75
4 14 70
5 12 80
a. Calculate the correlation between hours of television watched and overall grade average. Interpret the correlation – what does it mean?
b. Calculate the regression equation (use television watching to predict grade).
c. Make a scatter plot of the data and draw the line of best fit on your scatter plot.
