Customer: 3 Consider the table of values below
Age(x) 21 23 24 27 30 32 Mark (y) 100 80 95 85 75 95 (a) Calculate the Spearman’s rank correlation for the data and explain the value.
(b) You are given the data set on the following table:
Y 24 32 40 50 60 72 82 X 11 15 19 24 29 35 40
(i) fit the regression line for these two variables (where Y is the dependent variable and X is the independent variable)
(ii) Interpret the intercept of the linear regression line (iii) interpret the slope of the linear regression line (iv) calculate the response if X is 30.
