  Use the applet where specified. If no applet is specified, use statistical software of your choice (CrunchIt, Excel, etc.). To document your answer to a question, include a screenshot, photo taken from your computer screen, or printout from the software output that was produced. Whenever you have to calculate a regression equation, also verify the computer output by hand calculations: First use software to calculate the two means, the two standard deviation, and the correlation. Then, use the formulas from class and manually obtain b1 and b0. Round your hand calculations to 2 decimal digits. Are the computer results and your hand calculations exactly the same, almost the same, or not identical at all? Why?
