(10 pts) Life expectancy at birth is the estimated lifespan of a baby born in a particular year (given the conditions of that time period).  Based on data retrieved from http://www.indexmundi.com/facts/united-states/life-expectancy-at-birth the following chart of U.S. life expectancy for males has been prepared.The regression line is y = 0.2052x  – 336.5, where x = birth year and y = U.S. life male expectancy, in years. The value of r2 is 0.9809.(a)  Use the regression line to estimate the U.S. life expectancy of a male baby born in 1970, to the nearest tenth of a year. Show some work.(b)  Use the regression line to predict the U.S. life expectancy of a male baby born in 2020, to the nearest tenth of a year. Show some work.(c)  What is the slope of the regression line and what are the units of measurement? In a sentence, interpret what the slope is telling us, in the context of this real-world application.(d) What is the value of the correlation coefficient, r? Also, interpret its value: Looking at the graph and the size of r, do you judge the strength of the linear relationship to be very strong, moderately strong, somewhat weak, or very weak?
