Question
Statistics students in Oxnard College sampled 9 textbooks in the Condor bookstore and recorded the number of pages in each textbook and its cost. The data are shown below:
Number of Pages (x) | Cost(y) |
---|---|
704 | 111.52 |
594 | 89.22 |
701 | 113.13 |
670 | 98.1 |
805 | 107.65 |
790 | 111.7 |
983 | 136.79 |
540 | 78.2 |
701 | 100.13 |
A student calculates a linear model using technology (Statistics Calculator or Computer)
ˆy= __?__ x+ __?__ . (Please show your answers to two decimal places)
Use the model to estimate the cost when number of pages is 859.
Cost = $ __?__ (Use the linear model with yor rounded coefficients and then round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
