(14 pts) Life expectancy at birth is the estimated lifespan of a baby born in a particular year (given the conditions of that time period). Based on data retrieved from http://www.indexmundi.com/facts/united-states/life-expectancy-at-birth the following chart of U.S. life expectancy for males has been prepared. U.S. Male Life Expectancy at Birth 78 76 f(x) = 0.21x - 336.5 74 R = 0.98 72 70 Life Expectancy (in years) 68 66 64 62 60 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 Birt h Year The regression line is y = 0.2052x - 336.5, where x = birth year and y = U.S. life male expectancy, in years. The value of r2 is 0.9809. (a) Use the regression line to estimate the U.S. life expectancy of a male baby born in 1970, to the nearest tenth of a year. Show some work. (b) Use the regression line to predict the U.S. life expectancy of a male baby born in 2020, to the nearest tenth of a year. Show some work. (c) What is the slope of the regression line and what are the units of measurement? In a sentence, interpret what the slope is telling us, in the context of this real-world application. (d) What is the value of the correlation coefficient, r? Also, interpret its value: Looking at the graph and the size of r, do you judge the strength of the linear relationship to be very strong, moderately strong, somewhat weak, or very weak
