← A student finds that the correlation between two variables is 0.5 and says that the line explains 50% of the variation in y. A teacher says that this is wrong. What is the correct percentage?
The figure shows the number of cups of hot drinks sold by a cafe against the noon temperature on eight days. The line of best fit passes through the point of the means, (24, 50), and its slope is -2.5 cups for each degree. What number of cups does the line predict for a noon temperature of 30 °C? →
