A random sample of 5 pairs of values \((x,y)\) is given in the following table.
| \(x\) | 1 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| \(y\) | 7 | 5 | 8 | 6 | 4 |
(i) Find, showing all necessary working, the equation of the regression line of \(y\) on \(x\).
(ii) Find, showing all necessary working, the value of the product moment correlation coefficient for this sample.
(iii) Test, at the \(10\%\) significance level, whether there is evidence of non-zero correlation between the variables.
