Also find the maintenance cost if age of the car is 9

Let $a = 5, b = 8, c = 1$

Here $n = 4$

$$\overline x=a+c\overline u=a+c.\dfrac {\sum u}n=5+1\times \dfrac 04=5$$

$\overline y=b+c\overline v=b+c.\dfrac {\sum v}n= 8+1\times \dfrac {0.5}4\\ byx=bvu=\dfrac {n\sum uv-\sum u\sum v}{n\sum u^2-(\sum u)^2}=\dfrac {4(19.5)-(0)(-0.5)}{4(20)-(0)^2}=0.975$

Regression equation of y on x is $y-\overline y=byx(x-\overline x)$ is

$$Y – …
