George has found a relationship between the height of a person and his bowling score. The table below shows the data collected by George. Height cm 152 160 164 170 180 162 154 158 168 Bowling Score 51 55 57 60 65 55 52 54 59 Prt A: What would most likely be the bowling score of a person who has a height of 156 cm? Prt B: Predict a possible correlation coefficient for the data in the table and explain why you think your prediction is a good value for the data. Prt C: George says that if the bowling ball is rolled with a greater force, the bowling score will be higher.

I really just need help with part A... and a little with part B

OpenStudy (mosaic):

First step: sort the height in increasing order and put the corresponding bowling squares below.

OpenStudy (mosaic):

Sorting the given data in increasing order of height: Height Bowling Score 152 51 154 52 158 54 160 55 162 55 164 57 168 59 170 60 180 65 Bowling score increases with height. Try a linear regression fit. Since 156 falls at the center of 154 and 158 in the table the bowling score probably falls at the center of 52 and 54. That is, 53.
