The following data provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture show five-year interval data for U.S.farms. Use these data to develop the equation of a regression line to predict the average size of a farm (y) by the number of farms (x). Discuss the slope and y-intercep of the model. Number of Farms (millions) Year Average Size (acres) 1960 5.65 216 1965 4.62 262 1970 3.99 302 1975 3.39 335 1980 2.97 379 1985 2.49 421 1990 2.43 427 1995 2.33 445 2000 2.15 460 2005 2.08 470 2010 2.17 431 2015 2.09 447 (Do not round the intermediate values.
