You work for a large dairy farm and are examining the farm's techniques for rearing their Holstein calves. You want to see how large the farm's Holstein calves get as they age. So, you are going to take a random sample of 11 of the calves and note the age of each calf (denoted by x, in months) and their weight (denoted by y, in kg). You will also note the product xy of the age and the weight for each of the calves. (These products are written in the row labeled "xy"). (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample. Take Sample S Calf age, x (in months) 0 Calf weight, y (in kg) xy 12 348 4176 2 94 188 5 138 690 4 137 Slope (b): 548 Sample correlation coefficient (r): 7 231 10 274 12 315 1617 2740 3780 3 109 4 113 327 452 2 61 122 Send data to calculator Based on the data from your sample, enter the indicated values in the column on the left below.
