A manager wishes to determine the relationship between the number of miles (in hundreds of miles) the manager's sales representa

tives travel per month and the amount of sales (in thousands of dollars) per month. Find the equation of the regression line for the given data. Predict the value of sales when the sales representative travel 8 miles. Predict the value of sales when tthe sales representative traveled 11 miles.
Miles Traveled, x 2,3,10,7,8,15,3,1,11
Sales, y 31,33,78,62,65,61,48,55,120

Answer:

y=3.529 x +37.91

We can predict the sales representative travelled 8 miles replacing x =8 and we got:

y(8) = 3.529*8 + 37.91= 66.142

And we can predict the sales representative travelled 11 miles replacing x =11 and we got:

y(11) = 3.529*11 + 37.91= 76.729

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data:

Miles Traveled x: 2,3,10,7,8,15,3,1,11

Sales y :31,33,78,62,65,61,48,55,120

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}

Where:

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}

So we can find the sums like this:

\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =60

\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =553

\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =582

\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =39653

\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =4329

With these we can find the sums:

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=582-\frac{60^2}{9}=182

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}=4329-\frac{60*553}{9}=642.33

And the slope would be:

m=\frac{642.33}{182}=3.529

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{60}{9}=6.67

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{553}{9}=61.44

And we can find the intercept using this:

b=\bar y -m \bar x=61.44-(3.529*6.67)=37.91

So the line would be given by:

y=3.529 x +37.91

We can predict the sales representative travelled 8 miles replacing x =8 and we got:

y(8) = 3.529*8 + 37.91= 66.142

And we can predict the sales representative travelled 11 miles replacing x =11 and we got:

y(11) = 3.529*11 + 37.91= 76.729

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

the rate  of change is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

$90 / 18 cars = $5 per car

$45 / 9 cars = $5 per car

$60 / 12 cars = $5 per car

That means the rate of change is 5 (5/1)
