An economist is studying the job market in Denver area neighborhoods. Let x represent the total number of jobs in a given neighborhood, and let y represent the number of entry-level jobs in the same neighborhood. A sample of six Denver neighborhoods gave the following information (units in hundreds of jobs).

x 16 32 53 28 50 25
y 2 2 7 5 9 3

Complete parts (a) through (e), given Σx = 204, Σy = 28, Σx2 = 7998, Σy2 = 172, Σxy = 1132, and r ≈ 0.859.

(a) Draw a scatter diagram displaying the data.

Σx2 =
Σy2 =
Σxy =

(c) Find x, and y. Then find the equation of the least-squares line  = a + bx. (Round your answers for x and y to two decimal places. Round your answers for a and b to three decimal places.)

x =
y =
= +  x


(d) Graph the least-squares line. Be sure to plot the point (x, y) as a point on the line.


(e) Find the value of the coefficient of determination r2. What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? What percentage is unexplained? (Round your answer for r2 to three decimal places. Round your answers for the percentages to one decimal place.)

r2 =
explained     %
unexplained     %


(f) For a neighborhood with x = 37 hundred jobs, how many are predicted to be entry level jobs? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
hundred jobs

Total 204 28 1132 7998 172



r = 0.859

Part c)

X̅ = Σ( Xi / n ) = 204/6 = 34
Y̅ = Σ( Yi / n ) = 28/6 = 4.67


Equation of regression line is Ŷ = a + bX


b = 0.169
a =( Σ Y - ( b * Σ X) ) / n
a =( 28 - ( 0.1695 * 204 ) ) / 6
a = -1.096
Equation of regression line becomes Ŷ = -1.096 + 0.169 X

part e)

Coefficient of Determination
R2 = r2 = 0.738
Explained variation = 0.738* 100 = 73.8%
Unexplained variation = 1 - 0.738* 100 = 26.2%

part f)

When X = 37
Ŷ = -1.096 + 0.169 X
Ŷ = -1.096 + ( 0.169 * 37 )
Ŷ = 5.16
