8. Julie is a waitress. On the left is a log of her tips for yesterday’s shift.
a. Find the equation of the linear regression line. Round the slope
and y-intercept to the nearest hundredth.
b. What is the slope of the linear regression line?
c. What are the units of the slope when it is expressed as a rate?
d. Based on the linear regression line, what tip would Julie receive if
the restaurant bill were $120? Round to the nearest dollar.

e. Is your answer to part d an example of interpolation or extrapola-
tion? Explain.

f. Find the correlation coeffi cient for this data. Round to the near-
est hundredth.

g. Describe the correlation.

h. Based on the linear regres-
sion line, Julie creates a

spreadsheet to compute

predicted tips for any restau-
rant bill amount. Write the

formula that can be used to
compute the predicted tips
in column B.
