Based on the data available for the production ( \(y_i\) in thousand tons) of a cloth factory for 7 years (\(x_i\)) using the method of least squares, the straight line trend is given by \(y=a+b x\) with \(\sum y_i=608, \sum x_i=0, \sum x_i y_i=116, \sum x_i^2=28\). Then, the increase in production per year is :

  1. A \(86,860\) tons
  2. B \(4,143\) tons
  3. C \(1,16,000\) tons
  4. D \(6,08,000\) tons
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4,143\) tons

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(b = \frac{\sum x_i y_i}{\sum x_i^2}\) \(b = \frac{116}{28}\) \(b \approx 4.143\) thousand tons \(4.143 \times 1000 = 4143\) tons
