To calculate the least squares regression line, we need to find the equation of the form: \[ y = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x \] where: - \( y \) is the dependent variable (annual savings), - \( x \) is the independent variable (annual income), - \( \beta_0 \) is the intercept, and - \( \beta_1 \) is the slope of the regression line. ### Step 1: Calculate the necessary sums The formulas for the slope \( \beta_1 \) and the intercept \( \beta_0 \) are: \[ \beta_1 = \frac{n \sum{x y} - \sum{x} \sum{y}}{n \sum{x^2} - (\sum{x})^2} \] \[ \beta_0 = \frac{\sum{y} - \beta_1 \sum{x}}{n} \] Where \( n \) is the number of data points. We will calculate the following sums: - \( \sum{x} \) = sum of all \( x \) values (annual income), - \( \sum{y} \) = sum of all \( y \) values (annual savings), - \( \sum{x^2} \) = sum of the squares of \( x \), - \( \sum{xy} \) = sum of the product of corresponding \( x \) and \( y \). ###
