An economist is studying the job market in Denver area neighborhoods. Let
x
represent the total number of jobs in a given neighborhood, and let
y
represent the number of entry-level jobs in the same neighborhood. A sample of six Denver neighborhoods gave the following information (units in hundreds of jobs).


























x

133248285025


y

236593


Complete parts (a) through (e), given Σx
= 196, Σy
= 28, Σx
2
= 7406, Σy

= 164, Σxy
= 1075, and
r
≈ 0.877.


(c) Find x, and y. Then find the equation of the least-squares line =
a
+
bx. (Round your answers for x and y to two decimal places. Round your answers for
a
and
b
to three decimal places.)

y
can be

by the corresponding variation in
x
and the least-squares line? What percentage is
unexplained? (Round your answer for

(f) For a neighborhood with
x
= 30 hundred jobs, how many are predicted to be entry level jobs? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
