Question: 1- Use linear regression to develop a predictive model for demand for burial vaults based on sales of caskets. Year Sales of Caskets (000) Demand
1- Use linear regression to develop a predictive model for demand for burial vaults based on sales of caskets.
| Year | Sales of Caskets (000) | Demand for Vaults (000) |
| 1 | 8 | 5 |
| 2 | 7 | 3 |
| 3 | 10 | 6 |
| 4 | 6 | 4 |
a) Develop the regression equation.(15 points)
| 1a) Sum X=31 Avr X=7.75 Sum X^2=279 Sum X*Y=145 Sum Y=18 Avr Y =4.5 SumY^2=86
b=0.628 a=4.5-0.628*7.75= -0.367
Y= -0.367+0.628X |
