_________ Calculate the sample size n.
_________ Calculate the slope of the linear regression.
_________ Calculate the y-intercept of the linear regression.
_________ Calculate the correlation coefficient r for the data.
_________ Is there a relationship between mass and speed?
Why or why not?
Another group hypothesized that there is a relationship between the speed of the inbound marble to a collision with another marble and the speed of the outbound marble after the collision. The table presents their data.
