(a) Find the equation of the regression line that gives the length as a function of time. (Let t be the number of years since 1900 and L the length of the wining long jump, in meters. Round the regression line parameters to three decimal places.) L(t) -0.036r - 64.06 (b) Explain in practical terms the meaning of the slope of the regression line. In practical terms the meaning of the slope, meter per year, of the regression line is that each year the length of the winning long jump increased by an average of 0 0375 X meter, or about 1.476 x inches.

For the following exercises, consider this scenario: The profit of a company decreased steadily overa ten-year spam.The following ordered pairs shows dollars and the number of units sold in hundreds and the profit in thousands ofover the ten-year span, (number of units sold, profit) for specific recorded years: (46,600),(48,550),(50,505),(52,540),(54,495). Use linear regression to determine a function Pwhere the profit in thousands of dollars depends onthe number of units sold in hundreds.
