The data is coded using the changes of variable r=xr = xr=x and s=log⁡10ys = \log_{10} ys=log10​y

a.

The product moment correlation coefficient for the coded data is 0.98 Comment on r r\,r for this model and therefore justify the use of a model in the form y=abxy = ab^xy=abx where a a\,a and b b\,b are constants

[3]
b.

The regression line of r r\,r on s s\,s is found to be s=2.60+0.127rs = 2.60 + 0.127rs=2.60+0.127r

Find the values of a a\,a and bbb, give your answers to 3 significant figures
