The accompanying data are x advertising share and y market
The accompanying data are x = advertising share and y = market share for a particular brand of cigarettes during 10 randomly selected years.
(a) Calculate the equation of the estimated regression line. (Round your answers to six decimal places.)
y =
| x | 0.102 | 0.072 | 0.072 | 0.077 | 0.086 | 0.047 | 0.060 | 0.050 | 0.070 | 0.052 |
| y | 0.134 | 0.125 | 0.123 | 0.086 | 0.079 | 0.076 | 0.065 | 0.059 | 0.051 | 0.039 |
Solution
a)
Using technology, we get
slope = 1.261175064
intercept = -0.003068844
Thus, the regression line is
y^ = 1.261175064 x - 0.003068844 [ANSWER]
