question 26

Essay

A regression and correlation analysis resulted in the following information regarding an independent variable (x) and a dependent variable (y). $$\begin{array} { l l } \sum x = 42 & \sum ( y - y ) ( x - x ) = 37 \\\Sigma y = 63 & \sum ( x - \bar { x } ) ^ { 2 } = 84 \\n = 7 & \Sigma ( y - \bar { y } ) ^ { 2 } = 28 \\& \sum ( y - \widehat { y } ) ^ { 2 } = 11.7024\end{array}$$ ​
