An economist is studying the job market in area neighborhoods. Let x represent the total number of jobs in a given​ neighborhood, and let y represent the number of​ entry-level jobs in the same neighborhood. A sample of six neighborhoods gave the following information​ (units in hundreds of​ jobs). Data Table Total Jobs, x 17 31 51 29 49 25 Entry-level Jobs, y 2 2 6 5 9 4 Calculate the value of the correlation coefficient (round to three decimal places).      [r] Is there a significant correlation between x and y? (yes or no)      [sign] Calculate the value of the coefficient of determination (round to three decimal places).     [r-sq] Find the equation of the least-squares regression line (round each coefficient to three decimal places).     y = [a] + [b]x Predict the number of entry-level jobs for a neighborhood with 4000 total jobs (round to the same number of decimal places as y).     [pred]
