A researcher thinks there is a link between a person's height and level of confidence. She measured the height h, to the nearest cm, of a random sample of 9 people. She also devised a test to measure the level of confidence c of each person. The data are shown in the table below H 179 169 187 166 162 193 161 177 168 C 569 561 579 540 598 542 565 573 [You may use åh2 = 272 094, åc2 = 2 878 966, åhc = 884 484] (a) Find exact values of Shc Shh and Scc.
