From the alternatives given:
,
,
, and
.The computation that coincides with the nearest results is your final answer.
Explanation
## Step 1:To solve this problem, we need to perform simple linear regression/memory rule from analysis to ascertain the relation between "Sales activity" and "Budgeted Production units."## Step 2:By learning the example problem above, we assume
is the linear equation where-
represents the Budgeted Production units,-
represents the Sales activity, - "m" is the slope of the line, and- "b" the y-dependent. ## Step 3:Because y equals the sales process, historically, y will increase (or decrease) based on its movement with "x" (production units), observable in this formula:### \( m = \frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)} \)For the given values:-
at
-
at
Inserting these values, we solve for "m". ## Step 4:Substitute the resultant "m",
, and
in###
to find the y-intercept, "b".## Step 5:Now we substitute the resultantly found "m" and "b" in ###
where
to ultimately calculate the last "y".Once all steps are properly done, confirm the outcomes.
