According to the least-squares property, the regression line minimizes the sum of the squares of the residuals. Refer to Data Set 1 in Appendix B and use the paired data consisting of the first six pulse rates and the first six systolic blood pressures of males.

a. Find the equation of the regression line.

b. Identify the residuals, and find the sum of squares of the residuals.

c. Show that the equation y = 70 + 0.5x results in a larger sum of squares of residuals.
