3. A large field of wheat is split into 8 plots of equal area. Each plot is treated with a different amount of fertiliser, \(f\) grams \(/ \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }\). The yield of wheat, \(w\) tonnes, from each plot is recorded. The results are summarised below. $$\sum f = 28 \quad \sum w = 303 \quad \sum w ^ { 2 } = 13447 \quad \mathrm {~S} _ { f f } = 42 \quad \mathrm {~S} _ { f w } = 269.5$$

1. Calculate the product moment correlation coefficient between \(f\) and \(w\)
2. Interpret the value of your product moment correlation coefficient.
3. Find the equation of the regression line of \(w\) on \(f\) in the form \(w = a + b f\)
