An auto manufacturing company wanted to investigate how the price of one of its car models depreciates with age. The research department at the company took a sample of eight cars of this model and collected the following information on the ages (in years) and prices (in hundreds of dollars) of these cars.
Age | 3 | 3 | 3 | 7 | 3 | 3 | 7 | 7 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Price | 72 | 80 | 76 | 31 | 68 | 69 | 41 | 31 |
Find the least squares regression line equation in the form y^=a+bx. Use "Age" as the independent variable and "Price" as the dependent variable.
