Answer:
Good question! The correct answer is a) increases and b) increases.
While the pair of answers a) decreases and b) decreases or the pair a) stays the same and b) stays the same would be technically correct answers, this is the best way of describing the trend of the scatter plot; typically, trends are described by how the dependent or y-variable responds to the independent or x-variable increasing.
Answer:
b= -4.68
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We have to study variables:
Y: Monthly coffe sales
X: Price per pound of coffe ($)
The estimate regression line is
^Yi= a + bxi ∀ (i=1,.....,10)
The slope of the estimated regression line is represented by b.
The formula I'll use to calculate it is:
b= [n∑xiyi -(∑xi)*(∑yi)]/ n∑xi²-(∑xi)²
To calculate b we need to do some auxiliary calculations:
∑xiyi= 4213.15
∑xi= 87.47
∑yi= 545
∑xi²= 883.3703
Then we replace the formula:
b= [10*4213.15-(87.47)*(545)]/ n883.3703-(87.47)²
b= -4.68
I hope you have a SUPER day!
