With reference to Exercise 11.6, find

(a) a \(90\%\) confidence interval for the average number of classes attended each day by a student present for 15 days;

(b) \(90 \%\) limits of prediction for the number of classes attended each day by a student present for 15 days.

11.6 The following table shows how many days in December a sample of 6 students were present at their university and the number of lectures each attended on a given day. Number of days present x Number of lectures attended y 325413 283 12 13 10 7 10 (a) Find the equation of the least squares line which will enable us to predict y in terms of x. (b) Use the result in part (a) to estimate how many lec- tures someone who has been present for 15 days can be expected to attend each day.
