1. A researcher is interested to learn if there is a linear relationship between the hours in a
week spent exercising and a person’s life satisfaction. The researchers collected the
following data from a random sample, which included the number of hours spent
exercising in a week and a ranking of life satisfaction from 1 to 10 ( 1 being the lowest
and 10 the highest).
