Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the means of x and y values

The mean of x values ($\bar{x}$) is 13.8, and the mean of y values ($\bar{y}$) is 31.4.

Step 2: Compute the sum of the product of differences from the mean for each pair of x and y

The sum of the product of differences is 80.4.

Step 3: Calculate the sum of squares of differences from the mean for all x and y values

The sum of squares for x values is 30.800, and for y values is 241.200.

Step 4: Calculate the correlation coefficient

$$r = \frac{\sum (x_i - \bar{x})(y_i - \bar{y})}{\sqrt{\sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2 \sum (y_i - \bar{y})^2}} = 0.933$$

Final Answer:

The correlation coefficient, rounded to 3 decimal places, is 0.933.

The professor of an introductory calculus class has stated that, historically, the distribution of final exam grades in the course resembles a normal distribution with a mean final exam mark of μ=61% and a standard deviation of σ=12%. (c) The top 3% of students writing the final exam will receive a letter grade of at least A in the course. To two decimal places, find the minimum final exam mark needed to earn a letter grade of at least A in the course.
