Question
In a controlled experiment, the height Y in feet of a tree and
the amount of water x in ounces received are measured. Find
the least squares equation relating Y to x if we observe the
following data for n=8 trees
Σ; ΐΐ = 192, ΣΤ
Σ₁²=5280, E₁ iyi = 6864
ŷ=1.29+1.29x
y=40.50+9.06x
Oŷ=8.40+1.3x
| y=8.25+x
= 258
