You have decided to use the equation of y = m(x) + c to establish the relationship between the sales (y) and the related month (x). It is known that 8 consecutive months data (Jan to Aug) were used and they resulted to the following parameter values of m= 150 + L3D and c = 1000 + 0.1(L3D). Using the regression technique, estimate the percentage of sales improvement from December this year to June next year. (3 marks)
