The following table shows the advertised horsepower ratings X and the expected gas mileage Y (in miles per gallon) for a sample of 2012 vehicles:

 

Vehicle Horsepower Mileage
Audi A6 292 33

Chevy Malibu

246 26
Dodge Avenger 287 26
Ford Fusion 264 32
Nissan Altima 184 28
Toyota Camry 180 29
Kia Optima 198 27
Honda Civic 243 31

From the data, we calculate X Mean= 236.75, Y Mean= 29.63, sx= 44.64, sy = 2.5 and r = 0.6624.

 

(a) We would like to use the horsepower of a vehicle to explain its mileage. What is the equation of the least squares regression line?

I thought it was 
Y=23.81236516+0.024572903(X)
