You use a line best fit for a set of data to make a prediction about an unknown value. The correlation coefficient for your data set is -0.833. How confident can you be that your predicted value will be reasonably close to the actual value? why or why not?

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
