Chapter 1.5, Problem 7E

COLLEGE ADMISSIONS The accompanying data were compiled by the admissions office at Faber College during the past 5 years. The data relate the number of college brochures and follow-up letters ( x ) sent to a preselected list of high school juniors who had taken the PSAT and the number of completed applications ( y ) received from students (both measured in units of a thousand).

x 4 4.5 5 5.5 6
y 0.5 0.6 0.8 0.9 1.2

a. Determine the equation of the least-square line for these data.

b. Draw a scatter diagram and the least-square line for these data.

c. Use the result obtained in part ( a ) to predict the number of completed applications expected if 6400 brochures and follow-up letters are sent out during the next year.
