The data on six-year graduation rate (%), student-related expenditure per full-time student, and median SAT score for a random sample of the primarily undergraduate public universities in the US with enrollments between 10,000 and 20,000 were taken from College Results Online, The Education Trust.
We would like to know if there is
.
For a test of a linear relationship, the null hypothesis is usually expressed as:
In this context, this means
Conjecture:
We suspect that increased expenditures can be used to predict graduation rates.
H0: b = 0 Where b is the true slope between expenditures and graduation rates.
Ha: b > 0
Assumptions :• Have an SRS of colleges• Since the residual plot is randomly scattered, Expenditures and Grad rates are linear
• Since the points are evenly spaced across the LSRL on the scatterplot, sy is approximately equal for all values of grad rate
• Since the boxplot of residual is approximately symmetrical, the responses are approximately normally distributed.

Since the p-value < a, I reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that expenditures can be used to predict graduation rate.
Now for some computer output
Give the equation of the line, in the context of the problem.
