    The document provides data on the lengths and weights of 30 newborn kittens. It calculates the estimated regression equation to be ŷ = -227.2198 + 73.7702x, relating the length (x) to the weight (y) of the kittens. This indicates there is a positive correlation between length and weight, with weight increasing by 73.7702 grams for each 1 cm increase in length. As an example, the regression equation predicts a weight of 407.20472 grams for a kitten 8.6 cm in length.

    Sum ∑𝑋 =225.1 ∑𝑌 =9,789 ∑𝑋2=1,722.79 ∑𝑌2=3,418,775 ∑𝑋𝑌 =75,942.8

    The values of 𝑏 and 𝑎 are obtained by substituting the sums obtained above. Thus,

    225.1
    𝑥̅ =
    30 = 7.5033 = mean of x
    9,789 = 326.3 = mean of y
    𝑦̅ =30
    30(75,942.8) – (225.1) (9,789)
    b= = 73.7702
    30 (1,722.79) – (225.1)2
    a= 326.3 – 73.7702 (7.5033) = -227.2198

    Thus the estimated regression equation is:

    𝒚̂ = -227.2198 + 73.7702𝒙
    Interpretation:
    The coefficient 73.7702 is the slope of the regression line and is positive. It only means there is
    a positive correlation between the length and weight. As length increases by 1 unit, weight
    increases 73.7702. The coefficient -227.2198 is the y intercept. It is a value of y when x= 0.
    However in this problem, a weight of -227.2198 g is meaningless.

    The predicted value of y when x= 8.6 can be solved by substituting x= 8.6 in the estimated
    regression, Thus, when x= 8.6.

    𝒚̂ = -227.2198 + 73.7702 = -227.219 + 73.7702 (8.6) = 407.20472.
