(b) Use a calculator to verify that ?(x) = 153.6, ?(x2) =3385.30, ?(y) = 245, ?(y2) = 9795 and ?(x y) = 5480.1. Compute r.(Enter a number. Round to 3 decimal places.) As x increases, doesthe value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease?Explain your answer. Given our value of r, y should tend to remainconstant as x increases. Given our value of r, y should tend todecrease as x increases. Given our value of r, we can not draw anyconclusions for the behavior of y as x increases. Given our valueof r, y should tend to increase as x increases.
