(a) One of the points in the data set is (4, 37). Calculate the predicted value.
(b) For the point in part (a), calculate the residual.
Find the least square regression line for the data points : (1,1), (2,3). (4,5).
The lines of regression of y on x and x on y are,
respectively,
y = x + 5 and 16x - 9y = 94.
Find the variance of x if the variance of y is 16.
Also, find the covariance of x and y
