I am working problem 11.32 on page 610 of Ott and Longnecker's 'Statistical Methods and Data Analysis. I cannot figure out how the answer for the regression equation is: y = -1.73 + 1.32x and not y = 3.21 + 0.46x if you would include all points. If you exclude some outliers you can approach the former solution, but I can never attain the solution. Also, the narrative provided by Chegg to accompany the solution is too small to be...
