(a) Find the least-squares regression line from the
given data and interpret the slope.
Let X be the (answer) Christmas/ number of visitors
(in thousand) in Halloween/Halloween / number of visitors (in
thousand) in Christmas and
Y be the (Answer ) Christmas/ number of visitors (in
thousand) in Halloween / Halloween/ number of visitors (in
thousand) in Christmas.
The regression line is (Answer ) Y=a+bX / Y=ab/X/
Y=aX/b/ Y=ab+X/ Y=a+b/X/ Y=a/b+X where
the (answer) slope / y-intercept/
x-intercept a = _____ and
the (Answer) x-intercept/ slope/ y-intercept b
= ______ [correct to 4 decimal places].
The slope tells us that if the (Answer )Halloween/
number of visitors in Halloween / number of visitors in Christmas/
Christmas increases by 1 thousand, the (Answer )
number of visitors in Christmas/ number of visitors in Halloween/
Christmas/ Halloween will change
by _____ thousand (Answer ) on average/
