Solution
Using technology, we get              
               
 slope = b1 =   7.6   [ANSWER]  
 intercept = b0 =   1246.666667   [ANSWER]
***************************          
               
 Thus, the regression line is              
               
 y^ =    1246.666667 + 7.6 x    [ANSWER]
***************************
What is the variable cost per unit produced (to 1 decimal)?
$ 7.6 [ANSWER]

Also, getting the correlation,              
               
 r =    0.979127101          
               
 Thus, the coefficient of determination is              
               
 r^2 =    0.9587   [ANSWER]
****************************
It is 95.87% [ANSWER]
*********************************
               
 Thus, if x =    500          
               
 Then              
               
 y^ =    5046.67 [ANSWER]
