Answer:
y = -62.56 + 2.22x
Explanation:
Let X represent waist size and Y represent body fat
X Y XY X² Y²
32 6 192 1024 36
36 21 756 1296 441
38 15 570 1444 225
33 6 198 1089 36
39 22 858 858 484
40 31 1240 1600 961
41 32 1312 1681 1024
35 21 735 1225 441
38 25 950 1444 625
38 30 1140 1444 900
33 10 330 1089 100
40 20 800 1600 400
36 22 792 1296 484
32 9 288 1024 81
44 38 1672 1936 1444
33 10 330 1089 100
41 27 1107 1681 729

44 28 1232 1936 784
SUM: 741 395 15250 27731 9539
n= 20
∑x = 741
∑y = 395
∑xy = 15250
∑x² = 27731
∑y² = 9539
The regression line is given by the formula;
y = a + bx
slope b = n*∑xy - ∑x∑y / n*∑x² - (∑x)²
= (20*15250 -741*395 )/ (20*27731-741²)
= 2.22
Intercept = 1/n [∑y - b∑x]
=395 - 2.22*741/20
= -62.56
Therefore, the regression line is given as;
y = -62.56 + 2.22x
