The owner of Gino’s Pizza restaurant chain believes that if a restaurant is located near a college campus, then there is a linear relationship between sales and the size of the student population. Suppose data are collected from a sample of n = 10 Gino’s Pizza restaurants located near college campuses with the following reported sample statistics:
X= Population (1000s) |
Y = Sales ($1000s) |
