 A set of bivariate data has a Pearson product moment correlation coefficient of r=0.87 for 25 pairs (x, y). The y on x line of best fit is given by y=15x+11. Consider the value of r and line of best fit together with their definitions to answer the following. All the original x -values are increased by adding 5 and all the original y-values are decreased by subtracting 4. State the new value of r.
