The table below gives the fish population of a small lake. Use the information to answer the following questions and round each answer to two decimal places.

  1. Use a graphing calculator to fit a regression line to the data and write the linear linear model here.
  2. Use the linear regression line to predict the value of the function at \(\displaystyle x=10\).
  3. Find the correlation coefficient, \(\displaystyle r\) and use it to determine if the line a good fit and explain the solution to part (b).

  1. \(\displaystyle y=978.95 x + 2326.87\)
  2. Evaluating at \(\displaystyle x=10\) gives \(\displaystyle \approx 12116\)
  3. The \(\displaystyle r\) value is \(\displaystyle 0.89\). The line is a good fit.
