Taking temperature as an independent variable and pairs of gloves produced as a dependent variable, compute the least square’s regression line.
To calculate the least square regression line we need to find the following table calculation for the given sample as:

The mean of both dependent and independent sample is calculated as:


Also, the following sum of squares is calculated as:



Thus the Slope n and intercept m of the regression line is calculated as:


based on the slope and the intercept the regression equation is computed as:
