You are the foreman of the Bar-S cattle ranch in Colorado. A neighboring ranch has calves for sale, and you are going to buy some calves to add to the Bar-S herd. How much should a healthy calf weigh? Let x be the age of the calf (in weeks), and let y be the weight of the calf (in kilograms).
x | 2 | 2 | 10 | 16 | 26 | 36 |
y | 44 | 54 | 72 | 100 | 150 | 200 |
Complete parts (a) through (e), given Σx = 92, Σy = 620, Σx2 = 2336, Σy2 = 82,536, Σxy = 13,616, and r ≈ 0.994.
(a) Draw a scatter diagram displaying the data.

(b) Verify the given sums Σx, Σy,
Σx2, Σy2, Σxy, and
the value of the sample correlation coefficient r. (Round
your value for r to three decimal places.)
Σx = | |
Σy = | |
Σx2 = | |
Σy2 = | |
Σxy = | |
r = |
(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 = | |

unexplained | % |
(f) The calves you want to buy are 17 weeks old. What does the
least-squares line predict for a healthy weight? (Round your answer
to two decimal places.)

Part a)
Part b)
ΣX = 92
ΣY = 620
ΣX * Y = 13616
ΣX2 = 2336
ΣY2 = 82536
r = 0.994
Part c)
X̅ = Σ( Xi / n ) = 92/6 = 15.33
Y̅ = Σ( Yi / n ) = 620/6 = 103.33
Equation of regression line is Ŷ = a + bX
b = 4.441
a =( Σ Y - ( b * Σ X) ) / n
a =( 620 - ( 4.4409 * 92 ) ) / 6
a = 35.239
Equation of regression line becomes Ŷ = 35.239 + 4.441 X
Part e)
Coefficient of Determination
= 0.988
Explained variation = 0.988* 100 = 98.8%
Unexplained variation = 1 - 0.988* 100 = 1.2%
part f)
When X = 17
Ŷ = 35.239 + 4.441 X
Ŷ = 35.239 + ( 4.441 * 17 )
Ŷ = 110.74
