a)Conduct a linear regression by hand. You will need to show the slope and the intercept of the best-fit line. Also, construct a scatterplot graph with all data-points and trace the best-fit line (if you want you can do the graph in Excel)

b)Conduct a hypothesis test for the significance of the slope of the best fit line.

c)Calculate the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient for the dataset.

d)Conduct a hypothesis test for the significance of the correlation coefficient.
