A linear regression will best fit these points:
(4.75, 0.50), (6.84, 0.90), (12.52, 1.50), (20.42, 3.00), (8.97, 1.00)
The equation of the line that will best fit the points is
Give answer in the form y = mx + b.
No spaces.
Round values to two decimal places.
That is, there must be two digits after the decimal point.
Do not write 0.12 as .12.
The annual expenditure for cell phones varies by the age of an individual. The average annual expenditure E(a) (in $) for individuals of age a (in years) is given below:a: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70E(a): 502, 658, 649, 627, 476, 2131.
