The document discusses using ordinary least squares (OLS) regression to analyze the relationship between a used car's age and advertised purchase price. It provides age and price data for 6 cars and asks to: 1) Draw a scatter plot to visualize the relationship; 2) Calculate the OLS regression equation; 3) Interpret the slope and y-intercept.

A car buyer is interested in purchasing a second hand car and wants
to analyze the relationship between the car’s age and the advertised purchase price. He gathers the following information:
X (Age in years) 2 4 6 8 10 12 Y (Advertised 840 620 510 400 325 190 price in thousand)
1. Draw a scatter diagram to represent the above information and comment
on how this can be interpreted. 2.Find the least square regression equation of the regression line of Y on X. 3. Interpret the slope coefficient and the y intercept obtained.
