    Scatter diagram, regression

    Quick-print firms in a large downtown business area spend most of their advertising dollars on advertisements on bus benches. A research project involves predicting monthly sales based on the annual amount spent on placing ads on bus benches. A sample of quick-print firms revealed these advertising expenses and sales.

    Annual Bus Bench Advertising
    ($ thousands) Monthly Sales
    ($ thousands)
    2 40
    4 55
    5 75
    7 80
    3 45

    a. Draw a scatter diagram.
    b. Determine the coefficient of correlation.
    c. What is the coefficient of determination?
    d. Compute the regression equation.
