### Part 1: Analyzing a Random Sample of Observations

The following data represent a random sample of 5 observations. Assume that \( Y \) is a linear function of \( X \) and a normally distributed disturbance term with a mean of zero and a constant variance. In other words:

\[ Y = a + bX + u, \quad u \sim N(0, \sigma^2) \]

#### Observational Data:
| Observation | Y | X |
|-------------|---|---|
| 1.          | 1 | 17|
| 2.          | 3 | 13|
| 3.          | 5 | 8 |
| 4.          | 7 | 10|
| 5.          | 9 | 2 |

### Tasks

1. **Create a Scatterplot**:
   - **Objective**: Create a scatterplot of this dataset (either manually, or by using Excel graphing functions).
   - **Steps**: Plot the values of \( Y \) on the vertical axis and \( X \) on the horizontal axis.

2. **Calculate Statistical Parameters**:
   - **Objective**: Calculate the sample means, variances, and standard deviations of the variables \( X \) and \( Y \) either “by hand” or using Excel. Write one sentence describing what each of these means in the context of the dataset.
   - **Definitions**:
     - **Sample Mean**: The average value of the observations.
     - **Variance**: A measure of the dispersion of the observations from the mean.
     - **Standard Deviation**: The square root of the variance, indicating the average distance of the observations from the mean.

### Calculations

The calculations below should be done by applying the bivariate regression formulas. In other words, do them “by hand” using a calculator, or in Excel in a manner that clearly reveals the formulas used. Additionally, verify your calculations by entering the data into an Excel sheet and using the regression analysis function under Data Tools.

1. **Regression Coefficients**:
   - **Show how to calculate \( a \) and \( b \)**. Write one sentence discussing the interpretation of each of them.
   - \( a \): The intercept of the regression line, representing the expected value of \( Y \) when \( X \) is zero.
   - \( b \): The
