Number of rooms
11
10
14
7
9
Kilowatts-hours(thousands) used
9
8
11
5
9

  1. Find the correlation coefficient between the number of rooms and kilowatts-hours used. Interpret the result.
  2. Determine the regression equation of kilowatts hours used on the number of rooms. Interpret the value of the regression coefficient.
