Use the given data to find the equation of the regression line. round the final values to three significant digits, if necessary. x 6 8 20 28 36 y 2 4 13 20 30 a = –2.79 + 0.950x b = –3.79 + 0.897x c = –2.79 + 0.897x d = –3.79 + 0.801x

  Equation of the regression line for the data given will be represented by the equation given in option B.  

    By using the utility for the regression line of the given data, equation of the regression line will be,

y = 0.89745x - 3.79005

y = 0.897x - 3.79

Or y = -3.79 + 0.897x

   Therefore, equation of the regression line given in option B will be the answer.

b.  .897x - 3.790 (that's in slope-intercept form; same thing as putting the y-intercept first)

Step-by-step explanation:

On your calculator, hit the "stat" button.  Hit #4 to "ClrList", then hit 2nd and the number 1 to clear the list in L1.  Then do the same to clear the list in L2.  Hit #4, then hit 2nd and the number 2 to clear the list in L2.

Hit "stat" then 1 (edit) and you'll be at your table to enter the values.  Use the left arrow key if needed to make sure you're entering your first values under column L1, which is our x values.  Enter one at a time, hitting "enter" after each, even the last one.  Then arrow over to the right and enter the y values one at a time under L2.  Hit enter after each, even the last one.  When you're done, hit "stat" again and arrow over to "calc".  If you have a TI 83, choose "4:LinReg" and hit "enter".  If you have a TI 84+, you will have to arrow down to choose "calculate".  When the word "calculate" is highlighted, hit enter and you'll have your equation!
