a. Calculate the correlation coefficient of the data.

b. Based on the correlation coefficient, is there a correlation between the heights of daughters and mothers? Explain your answer.

This is what you get for not answering my question

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
