1a. [1 mark] Jim heated a liquid until it boiled. He measured the temperature of the liquid as it cooled. The following table shows its temperature, degrees Celsius, minutes after it boiled.Write down the independent variable.1b. [1 mark] Write down the boiling temperature of the liquid.1c. [2 marks] Jim believes that the relationship between and can be modelled by a linear regression equation.Jim describes the correlation as very strong. Circle the value below which best represents the correlation coefficient.1d. [2 marks] Jim’s model is , for . Use his model to predict the decrease in temperature for any 2 minute 4a. [3 marks] The maximum temperature , in degrees Celsius, in a park on six randomly selected days is shown in the following table.
