The following scatterplot shows the num)er of teachers (in thousands) for each of the states plus the 1istrict of 6olum)ia plotted against the num)er of students (in thousands) enrolled in grades 7212 for those states and the 1istrict of 6olum)ia. The least2s-uares regression e-uation was calculated and is shown )elow the scatter plot.

a) Find the +alue of the correlation coefficient )etween the num)er of teachers and the num)er of students. ,hat does this +alue indicate a)out the data8 )) .tate the slope and pro+ide an interpretation of the slope in the conte(t of these data. c) 9ow will the correlation coefficient change if 6alifornia is remo+ed from the data set and a new correlation coefficient is calculated8 (The data point for 6alifornia is la)eled on the scatterplot). '(plain your answer. d) 9ow will the slope of the least2s-uares regression line change if 6alifornia is remo+ed from the data set and a new least2s-uares regression line is calculated8 '(plain your answer.
