For 20 districts, a researcher obtains r=−0.955r=-0.955r=−0.955 between an air-quality score x x\,x and respiratory-disease rate yyy. A given regression line for life expectancy z z\,z on x x\,x is z=76.8+0.703xz=76.8+0.703xz=76.8+0.703x.

a.

Interpret rrr.

b.

Estimate z z\,z when x=10.5x=10.5x=10.5.
