I need help with this question, and I need you to break it down to me like I am a 5 year old if possible. I have part of the equation done, but I am stuck, and I also want to make sure what I have done so far is correct. Thank you in advance!

Each of the following pairs represents the number of licensed drivers (X) and the number of cars (Y) for seven houses in my neighborhood:

Drivers (X) Cars (Y)

5 4

5 3

2 2

2 2

3 2

1 1

2 2

(b).Determine the least squares equation for these data.(Remember, you will first have to calculate r, SSy , and SSx).

n= 7X = 20Mean = 2.8571Y= 16Mean = 2.2857XY= 54 X2= 72 Y2= 42

SPXY = XY- (X) (Y) n54- (20)(16)7=8.2857

SSX = X2 - (X)2 n 72 - (20)2 7 = 14.8571

SSY = Y2 - (Y)2 n42 - (16)2 7= 5.4286

8.2857 8.9807= 0.9228

r= 0.9228

SSX= 14.8571

SSY= 5.4286

Y' = bX + a

2.29 - (0.1447)(2.8571)=1.8723

b= 0.1447

a= 1.8723

Y' = bX + a=Y'= 0.1447 x

(c).Determine the standard error of estimate Sy/x, given that n= 7.

(d).Predict the number of cars for each of two new families with two and five drivers.
