<PRE><B>Question 244715</B>
The X column indicates the number of client contacts last month, and the Y column shows the value of sales ($ thousands) last month for each client sampled. 
Number of Contacts X 14,12,20,16,46
Sales ($ thousands) Y 24,14,28,30,80
Number of Contacts X 23,48,50,55,50
Sales ($ thousands) Y 30,90,85,120,110 
a. Determine the regression equation.
f(# of contacts) = 2.195(# of contacts) - 12.201
-------------------------------------------------------
b. Determine the estimated sales if 40 contacts are made.
f(40) = 75.6
