    The scatter diagram reveals a negative linear correlation between the temperature and the

    temperature.

    When x 20 C , y 6.71
    This estimate is reliable as x 20 C is within the range of data given and the correlation
    coefficient is close to 1 .
    The equation obtained in (ii) can be used to estimate the temperature when given the pH
    of skimmed milk because:
    a) temperature, x , is the only independent variable,
    b) the linear correlation coefficient, r , is close to 1 .
