Answer #1

Answer

we have the following data values

n = 10

2

Ly-773

ху-3406

2.2-208

60,875

Formula for the y intercept(b) is given as

b= [(sum y *sum x^2)-(sum x * sum xy)]/[(n*sum x^2)-(sum x)^2]

setting the given values, we get

b (773 208) (42 3406)1/[(10 208) (42)1 17732/316

this gives us

intercept b = 17732/316 = 56.114 (rounded to thousandths place)
