A college football coach wants to know if the is a correlation between his players' leg strength and the time it takes for them to sprint 40 yards. he sets up the following test and records the data:

Every day for a week, he counts how many times each player can leg press 350 pounds. The following week, he has each player sprint 40 yards every day. The tables shows the average number of leg-press repetitions and the average 40-yard dash time (in seconds) for seven randomly selected players. What is the equation of the line of best fit? How many seconds should he expect a player to take to

How many seconds should he expect a player to take to run 40 yards if that player can do 22 leg-press repetitions? 

Leg Press (reps)|40-yard Dash (s) 
15 |5.2 
18 |6.3 
8 |6.8 
30 |8.2 
26 |8.0 
12 |5.3 
21 |5.9

just trying to understand

latinc · Answer

graph and plot your points  and it wall make a lot of sense

ivettef365 · Answer

this question is hard to explain, but if you try graphing it you will see it is a positive correlation, I believe that the last question is approx 6
that means according to the graph if the player can do 22 leg-press is expected to run the 40 yards in 6 seconds

ivettef365 · Answer

there is an outlines which is the 8! 6.8

ivettef365 · Answer

the equation of the line believe is something like y = 0.5 x + 4
not too sure, this questions does not have an exact answer is just what best fit
