Moisture content in percent by volume (x) and conductivity
Chapter 7, Problem 7E(choose chapter or problem)
Moisture content in percent by volume \((x)\) and conductivity in mS/m \((y)\) were measured for 50 soil specimens. The means and standard deviations were \(\overline x=8.1\), \(s_x=1.2\), \(\overline{y}=30.4\), \(s_y=1.9\). The correlation between conductivity and moisture was computed to be \(r=0.85\). Find the equation of the least-squares line for predicting soil conductivity from moisture content.
