In these equations, 5 , and sy are the standard deviations of variables x and y , respectively, while x and y are the means of those two variables. (See the Scientific Skills Exercise for Chapter 32 for more information about the correlation coefficient, mean, and standard deviation.)
(a) Use your calculated value of r to calculate the slope (m) and the y -intercept (b) of a regression line for this data set.
