Question

7. U.S. outdoor advertising expenditure (in billions of dollars) from 2011 through 2015 is given in the following table: (10 points) Year, $x$ 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Expenditure, $y$ 6.4 6.8 7.1 7.4 7.6 a. Letting $x = 1$ denote 2011, find an equation of least-squares line for these data. b. Use (a) to estimate the rate of change of the advertising expenditures for the period in question. c. Use (a) to estimate the expenditures in the year 2017.

Step 1

Step 1: To find the equation of the least-squares line, we need to calculate the mean of x and y, the sum of the products of x and y, the sum of the squares of x, and then use these values to find the slope and y-intercept of the least-squares line. Show more…
