If \(y=a+b(x-2022)\) is a straight line trend using the least square method for the following data
Year(x)20202021202220232024
Profit(Rs. '000)(y)23452
Then the value of \(\frac{a}{b}\) is:

  1. A \(15\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(16\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(16\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n = 5\) \(\sum y = 2+3+4+5+2 = 16\) \(x' = x-2022\) \(\sum x' = (-2)+(-1)+0+1+2 = 0\) \(\sum x'y = (-2)(2)+(-1)(3)+(0)(4)+(1)(5)+(2)(2) = -4-3+0+5+4 = 2\) \(\sum (x')^2 = (-2)^2+(-1)^2+0^2+1^2+2^2 = 4+1+0+1+4 = 10\) \(a = \frac{\sum y}{n} = \frac{16}{5} = 3.2\)…
