Question

ntrigued by a 2013 study at the University of Nebraska, which suggested that marijuana smokers may be thinner than other adults, a group of students did a project to explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and amount of time spent under the influence of marijuana (measured in hours per week). Based on a random sample of 33 students at their university, they used BMI as the response variable.

The equation of the least-squares regression line is


Also, r2 = 0.134.

The correlation coefficient for these data is:

–0.134.

–0.366.

0.134.

0.366.

Hours per month under influence = 49.2 – 1.15 BMI

Explanation / Answer

r2=0.134

R=sqrt(0.1340

=0.366

plot is not visible.

if given scatter plot negatively correlated variables.

then correlation coefficient= -0.366
