1. Two students, Jim and Dora, collected data on the mean annual rainfall, \(w \mathrm {~cm}\), and the annual yield of leeks, \(l\) tonnes per hectare, for 10 years.

Jim summarised the data as follows $$\mathrm { S } _ { w l } = 42.786 \quad \mathrm {~S} _ { w w } = 9936.9 \quad \sum l ^ { 2 } = 26.2326 \quad \sum l = 16.06$$

1. Find the product moment correlation coefficient between \(l\) and \(w\) Dora decided to code the data first using \(s = w - 6\) and \(t = l - 20\)
2. Write down the value of the product moment correlation coefficient between \(s\) and \(t\). Give a justification for your answer. Dora calculates the equation of the regression line of \(t\) on \(s\) to be \(t = 0.00431 s - 18.87\)
3. Find the equation of the regression line of \(l\) on \(w\) in the form \(l = a + b w\), giving the values of \(a\) and \(b\) to 3 significant figures.
4. Use your equation to estimate the yield of leeks when \(w\) is 100 cm .
5. Calculate the residual sum of squares. The graph shows the residual for each value of \(l\)

6. 1. State whether this graph suggests that the use of a linear regression model is suitable for these data. Give a reason for your answer.
   2. Other than collecting more data, suggest how to improve the fit of the model in part (c) to the data.
