IB Statistics and Probability Problem 012
The following table shows the average weight, \(y\,kg\), of children aged \(x\,years\).
The relationship between the variables is modelled by the regression line with equation \(y = ax + b\).
- Find the value of \(a\) and the value of \(b\).
- Write down the correlation coefficient.
- Use your equation to estimate the average weight of a child aged \(1.95\,years\).
