Solution: I. Determine the range(R) of the data set.
R = Highest Value – Lowest Value
R = 450 – 59 = 391
II. Determine the number of classes of intervals {k}.
No. of classes (k) = √ no . of observations
= √ 30
≈ 5.48 = 5
III. Calculate the Class Size {i}, using the formula: I = R/k I

= 445
Plug this values into this equation:
= 445 – 13.67(22.67)
= 445 – 309.8989
= 135.1011
Therefore our linear regression is y = 135.1011 + 13.56x
We can use this equation to predict how much calories is contained in a sandwich with
40 grams fat.
y = 135.1011 + 13.67(40)
= 135.1011 + 546.8
= 681.9011
Therefore, the calories which will be contained in a sandwich with 40 grams is 681.
8. A morning radio talk show is running a “Winter Coat Campaign” to collect and deliver coats to
local shelters. They are storing the coat until they reach their goal of 2,100 coats. The table
below shows the number coats in storage at the end of each day of the campaign. What
equation is the linear regression equation for this data?
Using the regression equation you will obtain, predict the day the camping will meet its goal and
coasts will be delivered to the shelters.

Plug this values into this equation:
= 3.5 – 0.00994634 (1,083.33)
= 3.5 – 10.78
= -7.28
Therefore our linear regression is y = 135.1011 + 13.56x
We can use this equation to predict the day the campaign will meet its goal.
y = -7.28 + 0.00994634 (40)
= -7.28 + 0.40
= -7.68 ≈ -8
Therefore, on the 8th day the camping will meet its goal and coasts will be delivered to the
shelters.
