Suppose that you are given two random variables x and y and you take measurements and obtain x1 = 2.3%, x2 = −7.6%, x3 = 0.1% and y1 = 60, y2 = 120, y3 = 80. Find the line of best fit y = α + βx. Calculate the correlation coefficient r and perform a left-tailed hypothesis test for r with significance level 10%. Based on this test, should we use this line to find the value of y when x = .5%?
