A box office analyst seeks to predict opening weekend box office gross for movies. Toward this goal, the analyst plans to use online trailer views as a predictor. For each of the 66 movies, the number of online trailer views from the release of the trailer through the Saturday before a movie opens and the opening weekend box office gross (in millions of dollars) are collected and stored in the accompanying table. Assuming a linear relationship, use the least-squares method to determine the regression coefficients b0 and b1. Interpret the meaning of the slope, b1, in this problem. Predict the mean opening weekend box office gross for a movie that had 80 million online trailer views. What insights can be obtained about predicting opening weekend box office gross from online trailer views?
