Stretch

    1. (a) continuous
    2. (b) r = −0.996: a strong negative linear correlation
    3. (c) y = −1.82x + 15.4
    4. (d) 4.49 °C
    5. (e) For each extra hundred metres, the air temperature decreases by about 1.82 °C.
    6. (f) It is outside the range of the data (extrapolation), so the linear trend may not continue.
    1. (a) Group M: 65, Group N: 70. Group N is higher.
    2. (b) Group M: 25, Group N: 15
    3. (c) 20 days
    4. (d) Yes (100 is above the upper fence)
    5. (e) Group M has the larger IQR, so the middle half of its values is more spread out.
