question 67

Short Answer

A rendering plant wishes to use the data (sales records from a few local businesses and the month of the year) to help determine their supply level for the coming months. The records shown in the table provide an excellent opportunity for you to assist them with their forecasting.
$$\begin{array} { | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Month } & \text { Sales } & \text { Pounds } \\\hline \text { Tanuary } & 45 & 54.3 \\\hline \text { February } & 57 & 63.8 \\\hline \text { March } & 32 & 39.5 \\\hline \text { April } & 44 & 49.8 \\\hline \text { May } & 51 & 52.3 \\\hline \text { Tune } & 34 & 39.9 \\\hline\end{array}$$
-What is the regression equation resulting from using the month, where January=1, February=2, etc.) to forecast Pounds?
