8. A study comparing the amount if advertising time on TV per week for a product and
the number of sales per week for the same product was conducted. The result over
8 weeks are given below:
Advertising

Sales
(thousands), y
2.3 2.8 3.1 k 2.9 3.2 5.0 4.0
a) find the coordinates of the point though which the regression line y on x and that
of x on y both pass. Give your answer in terms of k. [ 3 marks]
b) given that the regression line of y on x is y = 0.197x + 0.184, find k to the nearest
integer. Hence, find the Pearson correlation coefficient r between advertising time
and sales per week. [ 7 marks]
c) plot a scatter diagram of y against x.. [ 2 marks]
d) state whether it is appropriate to estimate the sales per week if the advertising
time on TV is increased to 30 minutes per week. Give a reason. [ 2 marks]
e) What is the effect on r if the advertising time was in hours instead of minutes.
