- The data below are the ages and systolic blood pressure (measured in millimeters of mercury) of 9 randomly selected adults.
| Age, x | 38 | 41 | 45 | 48 | 51 | 53 | 57 | 61 | 65 |
| Pressure, y | 116 | 120 | 123 | 131 | 142 | 145 | 148 | 150 | 152 |
a: Scatter plot with regression line. (3 points)
b: Type of correlation (positive linear correlation, negative linear correlation, or no linear correlation) (2 points)
c: Complete the table and find the correlation coefficient r.
