Least square regression equation

Reference no: EM1319290

A study is being undertaken of companies going public. Of particular interest is the relationship between the size of the offering and the price per share. A sample of ten companies that recently went public revealed:

	Size (Millions)	Price Per Share
Company	X	Y	X²	XY
1	9	15.8	81	142.2
2	94.4	11.3	8,911.36	1,066.72
3	27.3	13.2	745.29	360.36
4	179.2	10.1	32,112.64	1,809.92
5	71.9	11.1	5,169.61	798.09
6	97.9	11	9,584.41	1,076.90
7	93.5	10.9	8,742.25	1,019.15
8	70	11.7	4,900.00	819
9	160.7	10.3	25,824.49	1,655.21
10	96.5	11.6	9,312.25	1,119.40
Total	900.4	117	105,383.30	9,866.95
