Statistics students in Oxnard College sampled 9 textbooks in the
Condor bookstore and recorded the number of pages in each textbook
and its cost. The bivariate data are shown below:
| Number of Pages (xx) | Cost(yy) |
|---|---|
| 470 | 65.4 |
| 980 | 135.6 |
| 300 | 53 |
| 888 | 117.56 |
| 982 | 128.84 |
| 762 | 110.44 |
| 267 | 41.04 |
| 571 | 88.52 |
| 640 | 91.8 |
A student calculates a linear model
yy = xx + . (Please show your answers to two decimal
places)
Use the model to estimate the cost when number of pages is
379.
Cost = $ (Please show your answer to 2 decimal places.)
The linear model is:

When x = 379

The linear regression model in excel is:
