Chapter 9, Problem 6CT

For Exercises 2–9, use the data in the table, which shows the average annual salaries (both in thousands of dollars) for librarians and postsecondary library science teachers in the United States for 12 years. (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics)

Librarians, x	Library science teachers y
49.1	56.6
50.9	57.6
52.9	59.7
54.7	61.6
55.7	64.3
56.4	67.0
57.0	70.0
57.2	70.8
57.6	73.3
58.1	72.4
58.9	73.0
59.9	72.3

6. Use the regression equation that you found in Exercise 5 to predict the average annual salary of postsecondary library science teachers when the average annual salary of librarians is $56,000.
