x = 1.486

y = 8.929

EXY- nXY 193.3- (149.486 -1.486)

Calculated using the formula b =9 = 31 .94 - (14 *1. 486 *1 A86 ) =7.31405

X2 - 7.31405

Calculated using Excel a =Y - bX = 8.929 - 7.31405 *1.486 = -1.938017

Y = a + bx = -1.93802 + 7.31405x

c. Using the formula

Y = a + bx = -1.58678 + 7.033058x

= 14.8843
