Å·= 6.45x + 31.5 is the equation of the regression line for the given data
How to find the equation of the regression line for a given data?
Construct the table of the data as follows:
x   >>>>   y  >>>>  x²  >>>>  y²  >>>>  xy

∑x = 20,  ∑y = 318, ∑x²= 80, ∑xy = 1146,  n = 6 (number data points)
The linear regression equation is of the form:
Å· = ax + b
where a and b are the slope and y-intercept respectively
a = ( n∑xy -(∑x)(∑y) ) / ( n∑x² - (∑x)² )
a = (6×1146 - 20×318) / ( 6×80-20² )
a = 6876-6360 / 480-400
a = 516 / 80
a = 6.45
x' =  ∑x/n
x' = 20/6 = 10/3
y' = ∑y/n
y' = 318/6 = 53
b = y' - ax'
b = 53 - 6.45×(10/3)
b = 53 - 21.5
b = 31.5
Å· = ax + b
Å·= 6.45x + 31.5
Thus, Â the equation of the regression line for the given data is Å·= 6.45x + 31.5. (The scatter plot of the data is shown in the attached image)
(a) x=3 hours
Å·= 6.45(3) + 31.5 = 50.85
(b) x=4.5 hours
Å·= 6.45(4.5) + 31.5 = 60.525
(c) x=13 hours
Å·= 6.45(13) + 31.5 = 115.35
(d) x=1.5 hours
Å·= 6.45(1.5) + 31.5 = 41.175
