In this problem, you were given the regression equation, the sum of y, the sum of y squared, the sum of x squared, and the fact that there were 8 pieces of data.
00:10
And our ultimate goal is to calculate the sum of xy, but in order to do so, we'll first have to find the sum of x.
00:20
Since our regression equation is based on averages, then i can modify that formula to say that y bar equals 11 .37395 plus 2 .82773 x bar.
00:42
And i can calculate y bar by saying y bar is equal to the sum of y divided by n, so i could say that y bar equals 255 over 8.
00:59
So i could substitute that in and say 255 divided by 8 is equal to 11 .37395 plus 2 .82773 x bar.
01:18
I could then subtract the 11 .37395 from both sides, and i will get 255 over 8 minus 11 .37395 is equal to 2 .82773 x bar.
01:50
I could then divide both sides by 2 .82773, and i will get that x bar equals, and when i calculate this all out, i will get that x bar is equal to 7 .25002652.
02:22
And then if i use the fact that x bar is the same as the sum of x divided by n, then the sum of x is equal to n times x bar.
02:38
So if i take the x bar value and multiply it by 8, i will get that the sum of x is equal to 58 .00002122.
03:04
And that's pretty close to 58, so we're going to say that the sum of x is 58.
03:10
Next we're going to go back to our regression equation, and our regression equation was y equals 11 .37395 plus 2 .82773 times x.
03:29
And we want to calculate the sum of xy.
03:34
So if i multiply both sides by an x, then i get that xy is equal to, and i can distribute, i would say 11 .37395 plus 2 .82773.
03:56
And i distributed the x, so this technically would have x here, and i'll have an x squared here.
04:09
And then if i say the sum of xy would equal 11 .37395 times the sum of x plus 2 .82773 times the sum of x squared.
04:34
So the sum of xy equals 11 .37395 times the sum of x, which we said was 58, plus 2 .82773 times the sum of x squared, which was given to us to be 480.
05:02
When you calculate that out, you are going to get our sum of xy.
05:07
And our answer choices were a, 1552, b, 1987, c, 2017, and d, 3251.
05:31
So i'm going to bring in my graphing calculator, and my graphing calculator is the texas instruments brand calculator.
05:38
And we're going to perform that math.
05:44
So we're going to do 11 .37395 times 58 plus 2 .82773 times 480.
05:57
And we are getting 2016 .9995...
