Question:

11. Professor Asimov Professor Isaac Asimov wrote nearly 500 books during a 40-year career. In fact, as his career progressed, he became even more productive in terms of the number of books written within a given period of time.3 The data give the time in months required to write his books in increments of 100:

a. Assume that the number of books x and the time in months y are linearly related. Find the least-squares line relating y to x.

b. Plot the time as a function of the number of books written using a scatterplot, and graph the leastsquares line on the same paper. Does it seem to provide a good fit to the data points?

c. Construct the ANOVA table for the linear regression.
