A manager wishes to determine the relationship between the number of miles (in hundreds of miles) the manager's sales representatives travel per month and the amount of sales (in thousands of dollars) per month. Find the equation of the regression line for the given data. Predict the value of sales when the sales representative travel 8 miles. Predict the value of sales when tthe sales representative traveled 11 miles.
Miles Traveled, x 2,3,10,7,8,15,3,1,11
Sales, y 31,33,78,62,65,61,48,55,120

y=3.529 x +37.91

We can predict the sales representative travelled 8 miles replacing x =8 and we got:

y(8) = 3.529*8 + 37.91= 66.142

And we can predict the sales representative travelled 11 miles replacing x =11 and we got:

y(11) = 3.529*11 + 37.91= 76.729

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data:

Miles Traveled x: 2,3,10,7,8,15,3,1,11

Sales y :31,33,78,62,65,61,48,55,120

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

So we can find the sums like this:

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =60$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =553$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =582$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =39653$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =4329$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=582-\frac{60^2}{9}=182$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}=4329-\frac{60*553}{9}=642.33$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{642.33}{182}=3.529$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{60}{9}=6.67$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{553}{9}=61.44$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=61.44-(3.529*6.67)=37.91$

So the line would be given by:

y=3.529 x +37.91

We can predict the sales representative travelled 8 miles replacing x =8 and we got:

y(8) = 3.529*8 + 37.91= 66.142

And we can predict the sales representative travelled 11 miles replacing x =11 and we got:

y(11) = 3.529*11 + 37.91= 76.729

answer: the answer is one of

$f=\dfrac{1}{2},~\dfrac{1}{4},~\dfrac{3}{4},~\dfrac{1}{6},~\dfrac{5}{6},~\dfrac{1}{8},~\dfrac{3}{8},~\dfrac{5}{8},~\dfrac{7}{8}.$

step-by-step explanation: we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

$f=\dfrac{1}{2},~\dfrac{1}{4},~\dfrac{3}{4},~\dfrac{1}{6},~\dfrac{5}{6},~\dfrac{1}{8},~\dfrac{3}{8},~\dfrac{5}{8},~\dfrac{7}{8}.$

$655.61 which is option c

step-by-step explanation:

price of house = $146,000

initial rate = 3.5%

mortgaged paid in this = 3.5 % of $146,000

= $\frac{3.5*146000}{100}$
