2. The heat output in thermal units from burning 1 kg of wood changes according to the wood’s
percentage moisture content. The moisture content and heat output of 10 blocks of the same
type of wood each weighing 1 kg were measured. These are shown in the table.

Moisture content % (x) 8 15 22 30 34 45 50 60 74 82

Heat output ( y) 80 77 74 69 68 61 61 55 50 45

(a) Draw a scatter diagram to show the above data. Use a scale of 2 cm to represent 10 % on
the x-axis and a scale of 2 cm to represent 10 thermal units on the y-axis.

(ii) the mean heat output, y .

(2)

(c) Plot the point ( x, y ) on your scatter diagram and label this point M.
(2)

(d) Write down the product-moment correlation coefficient, r.

(2)

The equation of the regression line y on x is y = –0.470x + 83.7.

(e) Draw the regression line y on x on your scatter diagram.

(2)

(f) Estimate the heat output in thermal units of a 1 kg block of wood that has 25 % moisture
content.
(2)

(g) State, with a reason, whether it is appropriate to use the regression line y on x to estimate
the heat output in part (f).
