Multiple Choice

Write the best-fit linear model for the data.
-Two different tests are designed to measure employee productivity and dexterity. Several employees are randomly selected and tested with these results. Find the linear function to model this data. $\begin{array}{cc|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c}\text { Productivity } & 23 & 25 & 28 & 21 & 21 & 25 & 26 & 30 & 34 & 36 \\\hline \text { Dexterity } & 49 & 53 & 59 & 42 & 47 & 53 & 55 & 63 & 67 & 75\end{array}$

• A) \(y = 10.7 + 1.53 x\)
• B) \(y = 2.36 + 2.03 x\)
• C) \(y = 75.3 - 0.329 x\)
• D) \(y = 5.05 + 1.91 x\)
