a) 931.35 b) 832.45 c) 831.35 d) 450.35

9) The sale for week 12 is? 826.89

2) A college bookstore must order books two months before each semester starts.
They believe that the number of books that will ultimately be sold for any
particular course is related to the number of students registered for the course when
the books are ordered. They would like to develop a linear regression equation to
help plan how many books to order. From past records, the bookstore obtains the
number of students registered, X, and the number of books actually sold for a
course, Y, for 12 different semesters. These data are below.
1.What is the value of a ? ___9.39_____________
2.What is the value of b ? ___0.67_____________
3. What is the value of y =? ___31.5____________
4. What is the value of X =?___33___________
5. What is the regression analysis equation?___y=9.39 + 0.67 x
6. If the number of students registered is 46, what is the number of books sold?
____40.72_________________
7. If the number of students registered is 68, what is the number of books sold? 54.95

8. Interpret the result. ___Therefore, if the number of students registered are 46 and 68,
the number of books sold will be 40.72 and 54.95, respectively._____________
2) Using the regression equation, obtain y, when the price is P115?

Average Number Sold per day (y) Price in Pesos (x)

350 800
320 830
400 810
330 860
280 823
310 810
340 890

1.What is the value of a ? __424.36______________

2.What is the value of b ? ___-0.11_____________
3. What is the value of y =? ___332.86____________
4. What is the value of X =?___831.86___________
5. What is the regression analysis equation?___y=424.36 + (-0.11) x
6. If the price is P 130, what is the average number sold per day?
___410.06__________________
7.If the price is P 178, what is the average number sold per day?
___404.78__________________
8. Interpret the result. Therefore, if the prices are P115, P130, and P178, the average
no. sold per day are 411.71, 410.06, and 404.78, respectively.
