In Problems 3-5, answer true or false to each statement. Explain your answers.
4. A horizontal line has no slope.
In the article "Comparison of Fiber Counting by TV Screen and Eyepieces of Phase Contrast Microscopy" (Amer. icon Industrial Hyeiene Asseciution Journal, Vol. 63, Pp. 756-761), 1. Moa et al. reported on determining fiber density by two different methods. Twenty samples of varying fiber density were each counted by 10 viewers by means of an eyepiece method and a television screen method to determine the relationship between the counts done by each method. The results, in fibers per square millimeter, are presented on the Weiss Stats site.
(a). Decide whether use of the linear correlation coefficient as a descriptive measure for the data is
appropriate, If so, then also parts and.
In Exercise 4.7, we give linear equations. For each equation,
a. find the -intercept and slope.
b. determine whether the line slopes upward, slopes downward, or is horizontal, without graphing the equation.
c. use two points to graph the equation.
given equation is,
For which of the following sets of data points can you reasonably determine a regression line? Explain your answer.

a) Plot the data points and the first linear equation on one graph and the data points and the second linear equation on another.
(b) Construct tables for
(c) Determine which line fits the data points better according to the least-square criterion.
