Year: 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
Taxes: $2,900 $3,000 $3,150 $3,300 $3,400 $3,600
a) Draw/sketch a scatter diagram.
b) Calculate the least squares equation.
c) Predict the property tax for the year 2020.
Year (X) | Taxes (Y) | X * Y | X2 | Y2 | |
2007 | 2900 | 5820300 | 4028049 | 8410000 | |
2008 | 3000 | 6024000 | 4032064 | 9000000 | |
2009 | 3150 | 6328350 | 4036081 | 9922500 | |
2010 | 3300 | 6633000 | 4040100 | 10890000 | |
2011 | 3400 | 6837400 | 4044121 | 11560000 | |
2012 | 3600 | 7243200 | 4048144 | 12960000 | |
Total | 12057 | 19350 | 38886250 | 24228559 | 62742500 |
Part a)
Part b)
Equation of regression line is Ŷ = a + bX
b = 138.571
a =( Σ Y - ( b * Σ X) ) / n
a =( 19350 - ( 138.5714 * 12057 ) ) / 6
a = -275234.286
Equation of regression line becomes Ŷ = -275234.2857 + 138.5714
X
Part c)
When X = 2020
Ŷ = -275234.286 + 138.571 X
Ŷ = -275234.286 + ( 138.571 * 2020 )
Ŷ = 4679.13
