The management of a supermarket wants to find if there is a relationship between the number of times a specific product is promoted on the intercom system in the store(x) and the number of units of that product sold (y). To experiment, the management selected a product and promoted it on the intercom system for 7 days, recording the number of times this product was promoted each day and the number of units sold. Summaries of a study conducted gave the following results:  ∑x=177, ∑y= 144, SSxx=809.4286, SSyy=261.7143, SSxy= 407.8571  a) Calculate the correlation coefficient (r) relating number of times this product was promoted each day and the number of units sold.  b) Find the regression line.
