10. [Jan 2012 Q(5) ] Ans : (a) (b) (c)

(d) The explanatory variable is the age of each coin.This is because the age is set and the weight varies. (e) (i) awrt 11.5 (ii) Decrease(in weight coin of 0.1052g) = 0.1 or -0.1 or increase of (f) Decrease ; removing the fake will result in a better linear fit so will be closer to .
