Measurements from a simple random sample of twenty soy farms in Illinois is found in the file illinois.txt. (It is known that there are 2500 soy farms in Inois.) The farmers were asked two questions of the 2016 season: how many acres do they have planted with soy, and how many bushels of soy did they harvest and sell. Estimate the total number of bushels of soy produced and sold, given that there were ten million

Explanation / Answer

Regression equation is

acres.soy = 36532.175+48.622 bushels.soy

10000000=36532.175+48.622 bushels.soy

bushels.soy = (10000000-36532.175)/48.622 = 204916.86
