Question 2: Summation operator (a) Express the following in summation notation: $x_3y_3^2 + x_4y_4^2$. (b) Show that $\sum_{i=1}^{n} (y_i - \bar{y}) = 0$. (c) Show that $\sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \bar{x})(y_i - \bar{y}) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i(y_i - \bar{y})$.

Step 1
The Σ symbol represents the sum of a series of terms. In this case, we have a series of terms (yi - y) for i = 1 to n. When we sum up all the terms (yi - y) for i = 1 to n, we can rewrite it as: (y1 - y) + (y2 - y) + ... + (yn - y) Expanding this expression, we Show more…
