1. The relationship between two variables p and t is modelled by the regression line with
equation
p = 22 – 1.1 t
The model is based on observations of the independent variable, t, between 1 and 10
(a) Describe the correlation between p and t implied by this model.
(1)
Given that p is measured in centimetres and t is measured in days,
(b) state the units of the gradient of the regression line.
(1)
Using the model,
(c) calculate the change in p over a 3‑day period.
(2)
Tisam uses this model to estimate the value of p when t = 19
(d) Comment, giving a reason, on the reliability of this estimate.
