Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the means of x and y

Let (x = [0,1,2,3,5,5]) and (y=[38,44,51,47,64,68]) (\bar{x}=\frac{0 + 1+2+3+5+5}{6}=\frac{16}{6}\approx2.667) (\bar{y}=\frac{38 + 44+51+47+64+68}{6}=\frac{312}{6} = 52)

Step2: Calculate the numerator and denominator for the slope (b1)

[ \begin{align*} \sum_{i = 1}^{n}(x_i-\bar{x})(y_i - \bar{y})&=(0 - 2.667)(38-52)+(1 - 2.667)(44 - 52)+(2-2.667)(51 - 52)+(3-2.667)(47 - 52)+(5-2.667)(64 - 52)+(5-2.667)(68 - 52)\ &=(- 2.667)\times(-14)+(-1.667)\times(-8)+(-0.667)\times(-1)+(0.333)\times(-5)+(2.333)\times12+(2.333)\times16\ &=37.338+13.336 + 0.667-1.665+27.996+37.328\ &=115.99 \end{align*} ] [ \begin{align*} \sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i-\bar{x})^2&=(0 - 2.667)^2+(1 - 2.667)^2+(2-2.667)^2+(3-2.667)^2+(5-2.667)^2+(5-2.667)^2\ &=7.112889+2.778889 + 0.444889+0.111889+5.444889+5.444889\ &=21.338334 \end{align*} ] The slope (b_1=\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}(x_i-\bar{x})(y_i - \bar{y})}{\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i-\bar{x})^2}=\frac{115.99}{21.338334}\approx5.435)

Step3: Calculate the y - intercept (b0)

(b_0=\bar{y}-b_1\bar{x}=52-5.435\times2.667=52 - 14.505145\approx37.49)

The regression equation is (\hat{y}=5.435x + 37.49)

Step4: Predict the values of y

(a) When (x = 4)

(\hat{y}=5.435\times4+37.49=21.74+37.49 = 59.23)

(b) When (x = 3.5)

(\hat{y}=5.435\times3.5+37.49=19.0225+37.49=56.5125\approx56.51)

(c) When (x = 14)

(\hat{y}=5.435\times14+37.49=76.09+37.49 = 113.58) (This may not be meaningful as it may be outside the range of the data used to fit the model)

(d) When (x = 4.5)

(\hat{y}=5.435\times4.5+37.49=24.4575+37.49=61.9475\approx61.95)

Answer:

The regression equation is (\hat{y}=5.435x + 37.49) (a) 59.23 (b) 56.51 (c) 113.58 (d) 61.95
