The least squares regression line for a set of data is calculated to be y = 24.8 + 3.41x.
(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.
Use the least squares regression line of this data set to predict a value.
Meteorologists in a seaside town wanted to understand how their annual rainfall
is affected by the temperature of coastal waters.
For the past few years, they monitored the average temperature of coastal
waters (in Celsius), x, as well as the annual rainfall (in millimetres), y.

• The mean of the x-values is 11.503.
• The mean of the y-values is 366.637.
• The sample standard deviation of the x-values is 4.900.
• The sample standard deviation of the y-values is 44.387.
• The correlation coefficient of the data set is 0.896.
The least squares regression line of this data set is:
y = 8.116x + 273.273
How much rainfall does this line predict in a year if the average temperature of coastal waters
is 15 degrees Celsius?
