Explanation / Answer

Step 1: Find XY and X2 as it was done in the table below.

Step 2: Find the sum of every column:

X=242 , Y=248 , XY=2335 , X2=2524

Step 3: Use the following equations to find a and b:

a=YX2XXY/nX2-(X)2=24825242422335/29252424224.161

b=nXYXY/nX2(X)2=292335242248/292524(242)20.526

Step 4: Substitute a and b in regression equation formula

y = a + bx= 4.161 + 0.526x

now for x=4, y=6.265
