Tamoxifen is a drug often used to treat breast cancer patients. One effect of the drug is to change the levels of cortisol-binding globulin (CBG). One study attempted to see if the effect of Tamoxifen is age dependent on the patients age. The response variable Y is the change in CBG and the covariate X is age. The following summary statistics were reported. 

(a) Find the least squares estimates of the intercept and slope 

(b) Give the standard errors for your estimates in (a).

 (c) Construct 95% confidence intervals for the true intercept and true slope. 

(d) What conclusions would you draw from your results?
