1 1. The Type Fast secretarial training agency has a new computer software spreadsheet package. The agency investigates the number of hours it takes people of varying ages to reach a level of proficiency using this package. Fifteen individuals are tested and the results are summarised in the table below. Age (x) Time (in hours) (y) t (a) (i) Given that y = 3.5 and xy = 36.7, calculate the product-moment correlation coefficient r for this data. (4) (ii) What does the value of the correlation coefficient suggest about the relationship between the two variables? (1) Given that the mean time taken was 10.6 hours, write the equation of the regression line for y on x in the form y = ax + b. (3) (c) Use your equation for the regression line to predict (i) the time that it would take a 33 year old person to reach proficiency, giving your answer correct to the nearest hour; (ii) the age of a person who would take 8 hours to reach proficiency, giving your answer correct to the nearest year.
