Answer:
= 22 - 7n
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is
8 - 15 = 1 - 8 = - 7
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with explicit formula
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 15 and d = - 7 , then
= 15 - 7(n - 1) = 15 - 7n + 7 = 22 - 7n ← explicit formula

Step-by-step explanation:
Data given
x: 500, 700, 750, 590 , 540, 650, 480
y: 7.00, 7.50 , 9.00, 6.5, 7.50 , 7.0, 4.50
Part a
We want to create a linear model like this :
Wehre
And:
With these we can find the sums:
And the slope would be:
Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:
And we can find the intercept using this:
And the line would be:
Part b
The correlation coefficient is given by:
For our case we have this:
n=7
The determination coefficient is given by:
Part c
