The regression equation of Y on X is given by the following formula:

Where byx is given by the formula:

Where N is the number of values (N=8). We need to find the sum of X values, the sum of Y values, the average of X, the average of Y, the sum of X*Y and the sum of X^2.
The table of values is:
The values we need to know are on the following table:
By replacing the known values in the formula we obtain:

Now, the average of X and Y is the sum divided by N, then:

Replace these values in the formula and find the regression equation as follows:

The answer is a) y=4.6x+28.26
Answer=60
Since the base of the prism is a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x.
a²+b²=c²
plug in the data
a²+24²=30²
a²+576=900
subtract 576 from both sides
a²=324
sq root
a=18
So x=18
The formula for the volume of a triangular prism is...
V=(area of the base)*(height)
V=1/2bh*H where b=base of triangle h=height of triangle, H=height of prism
plug in the data that we know
720=1/2*18*24*H
720=216*H
divide both sides by 216
3 1/3=H
So x=18 and y=3 1/3 or 3.33 repeating
The product of the two
18*3 1/3=60
Answer=60
