Ʃx = Ʃy = Ʃxy = Ʃx² = Ʃy² =
5027 4387 745496 865881 647787
Sample size, n = 30
x̅ = Ʃx/n = 167.567
y̅ = Ʃy/n = 146.233
SSxx = Ʃx² - (Ʃx)²/n = 23523.4
SSyy = Ʃy² - (Ʃy)²/n = 6261.37
SSxy = Ʃxy - (Ʃx)(Ʃy)/n = 10381

a) There appear to be a positive association between these two variables.

b) Slope, b = SSxy/SSxx = 0.441307296

y-intercept, a = y̅ -b* x̅ = 72.28494079

Regression equation :   

ŷ = 72.2849 + 0.4413 x  

Predicted value of y at X = 150

ŷ = 72.2849 + 0.4413 * 150 = 138.481  

Sum of Square error, SSE = SSyy -SSxy²/SSxx = 1680.140918

Standard error, se = √(SSE/(n-2)) = 7.74629

Critical value, t_c = T.INV.2T(0.05, 28) = 2.0484
