Consider the following data:
Year(x)20102011201220132014
Sale(in crore Rs.)(y)918212938
A straight line trend by the method of least squares is:

  1. A \(y=46+9.6(x-2012)\)
  2. B \(y=23+6.9(x-2012)\)
  3. C \(y=23+7.5(x-2012)\)
  4. D \(y=46+9.6 x\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(y=23+6.9(x-2012)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(x' = x - 2012\) \(\sum x' = -2 - 1 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 0\) \(\sum y = 9 + 18 + 21 + 29 + 38 = 115\) \(\sum x'^2 = 4 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 4 = 10\) \(\sum x'y = -18 - 18 + 0 + 29 + 76 = 69\) \(a = \frac{\sum y}{n} = \frac{115}{5} = 23\)…
