You are the owner of Fast Break, a popular local place that sells drinks, snacks, and sandwiches. For inventory management purposes, you are examining how the weather affects the amount of hot chocolate sold in a day. You are going to gather a random sample of 9 days showing that day's high temperature (denoted by x, in °C) and the amount of hot chocolate sold that day (denoted by y, in liters). You will also note the product ·xy of the temperature and amount of hot chocolate sold for each day. (These products are written in the row labeled "xy"). (a)Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample.

High temperature (in °C)

(c)Use your regression equation to predict the amount of hot chocolate sold on a day with a high temperature of 19 °C. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Predicted amount of hot chocolate sold: 19liters
