Math Problem Statement

use the picture above of the critical values for the pearson correlation coefficient to answer the question. find the regression equation, letting the systolic reading be the independent (x) variable. if one of these people has a systolic blood pressure of 137 mm Hg. What is the best predicted diastolic blood pressure? Round regression equation to two decimal places as needed. Round best predicted diastolic blood pressure to one decimal place as needed. The systolic blood pressure data in respective order is as follows : 122, 134, 143, 140, 135, 113, 110, 145. the diastolic blood pressure data in respective order is as follows : 62, 71, 80, 80, 100, 59, 82, 105.

Formulas

Pearson's correlation coefficient: r = (nΣxy - (Σx)(Σy)) / sqrt([nΣx^2 - (Σx)^2][nΣy^2 - (Σy)^2])
Regression equation: y = a + bx
Slope formula: b = (nΣxy - ΣxΣy) / (nΣx^2 - Σx^2)
Intercept formula: a = ȳ - bẋ
