62. If the level of significance is and the -value is , what conclusion can you draw?
A researcher is investigating whether population impacts homicide rate. He uses demographic data from Detroit, MI to compare homicide rates and the number of the population that are white males.

a. Use your calculator to construct a scatter plot of the data. What should the independent variable be? Why?
b. Use your calculator’s regression function to find the equation of the least-squares regression line. Add this to your
scatter plot.
c. Discuss what the following mean in context.
i. The slope of the regression equation
ii. The y-intercept of the regression equation
iii. The correlation \(r\)
iv. The coefficient of determination \(r2\).
For a given line of best fit, you compute that using data points, and the critical value is . Can the line be used for prediction? Why or why not?
Does the scatter plot appear linear? Strong or weak? Positive or negative?
