Question

A local tire dealer wants to predict the number of tires sold each month. He believes that the number of tires sold is a linear function of the amount of money invested in advertising. He randomly selects 6 months of data consisting of tire sales (in thousands of tires) and advertising expenditures (in thousands of dollars). Based on the data set with 6 observations, the simple linear regression equation of the least squares line is ŷ = 3 + 1x.

 

EX= 24

EX = 124
EY= 42
EY = 338

EXY = 196
MSE = 4

Using the sums of the squares given above, determine the 90 percent confidence interval for the mean value of monthly tire sales when the advertising expenditure is $5.000.

distance value = .20238

 

a. (6.08, 9.92)

b. (3.235, 6.765)

c. (2.465, 6.853)

d. (5.325, 7.675)
