Q.1

 

Bob the Businessman has decided to take his company, LAspaceX, public. Bob is eager to make quick money and plans to sell his stocks as soon as they reach a high value. On the day LAspaceX goes public, Bob keeps track of the stock value by the minute. The recorded values are as follows:

  • Initially (at t=0 minutes), the stock is worth $2.
  • After 10 minutes, the stock is worth $3.
  • After 20 minutes, the stock is worth $5.
  • After 30 minutes, the stock is worth $6.
  • After 40 minutes, the stock is worth $8.

a) Finding the Value of the Stock Using the Least Squares Method

Using the data provided, determine the best-fit line V(t) = mt + b that represents the

value V of the stock in dollars after t minutes using the least squares method.
