a. Determine the correlation coefficient r.

n ∑ xy −( ∑ x )( ∑ y )
r=
√n ¿¿¿
10(60926)−(778)(764)
r=
√ 10 ( 62614 ) −(778)2 ∙ √ 10 ( 60640 )−(764 )2
r =0.6832597761
r =0.6833

b. Determine the linear regression line.

^y =ax+ b
where:

n ∑ xy−( ∑ x )( ∑ y )
a=

10 (60926)−( 778)(764 )
a=
10 ( 62614 )−(778)2

c. Predict the final examination grade of a student whose midterm grade is 60.

Mid Term Grade; x=60

y = 20.93+0.71x
y = 20.93+0.71(60)
y = 63.54
