Given the bivariate data:

x 1    2    3    5    6
y 8    5    4    2    1

(b) Find 

n, Σx, Σy, Σx2, (Σx)2, and Σxy.

 

n      =   
Σx      =   
Σy      =   
Σx2      =   
(Σx)2      =   
Σxy      =   



(c) Find a, the slope of the least-squares line, and b, the y-intercept of the least-squares line. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

a  =   
b  =   



(d) Draw the least-squares line on the scatter diagram from part (a).

### Analysis of Scatter Diagrams with Least-Squares Lines

#### Graphs Description:

In this section, you are presented with four scatter diagrams. Each diagram has a straight line representing a potential least-squares line. The graphs are plotted on a coordinate plane with axes labeled as \( x \) and \( y \). The range on both axes spans from -10 to 10.

- **Top Left Graph:**
  - The line has a positive slope and passes through the origin.

- **Top Right Graph:**
  - The line has a negative slope with a steep descent from the top left to the bottom right.

- **Bottom Left Graph:**
  - This line also has a positive slope, similar to the one in the top left, but positioned lower.

- **Bottom Right Graph:**
  - The line has a negative slope like the top right but is less steep.

For part (d), the correct least-squares line according to the given data is depicted in the **bottom right graph**.

#### Questions and Tasks:

(e) **Question:** Is the point \((\bar{x}, \bar{y})\) on the least-squares line?
   - **Answer:** Yes (indicated by a checked box next to "No," suggesting an error in selection).

(f) **Task:** Use the equation of the least-squares line to predict the value of \( y \) when \( x = 2.9 \). 
   - **Instruction:** Round your answer to two decimal places.
   - **Answer Box:** \( y = \_\_\_\_\_\_ \)

(g) **Task:** Find, to the nearest hundredth, the linear correlation coefficient.
   - **Answer Box:** \_\_\_\_\_\_

This exercise allows you to engage with statistical methods to estimate relationships between variables and determine the strength and direction of such relationships through least-squares regression and correlation coefficients.
