Savings (Thousands of Dollars) 0.2 ,0 ,0.8, 1.2 ,3.1 ,2.1 ,8.3
a. What level of measurement do the two variables in the table possess?
b. Which of the variables is the dependent variable in the model?
c. Which of the variables is the independent variable in the model?
d. Draw a scatterplot of the data. Does the scatterplot suggest that a linear model is appropriate? Explain.
