(a) Compute the mean and the median. Interpret the meaning in this problem.
(b) Compute the standard deviation and coefficient of variation. Interpret the meaning in
this problem.

2. A candy bar manufacturer is interested in trying to estimate how sales are influenced by
the price of their product. To do this, the company randomly chooses 6 small cities and
offers the candy bar at different prices. Using candy bar sales as the dependent variable,
the company will conduct a simple linear regression on the data below: [15 points]
City Price ($) Sales
River Falls 1.30 90
Hudson 1.60 80
Ellsworth 1.80 70
Prescott 2.00 30
Rock Elm 2.40 28
Stillwater 2.90 22
(a) Set up a scatter diagram.
(b) Assuming a linear relationship, use the least-squares method. This means to apply
the formulas for bo and b1 to find the regression coefficients bo and b1. Write the
predicted equation for this problem.
(c) Interpret the meaning of the y-intercept bo and slope b1 by relating the interpretation
to Price and Sales.
(d) Predict the sales when the prices are $1.50 and $2.70, and $3.50.
