A) Calculate the least squares line. Put the equation in the form of: ŷ = a + bx. (Round your slope to three decimal places and your intercept to the nearest whole number.)
B) Find the correlation coefficient r. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
C) Find the estimated total cost for a net taxable estate of $1,500,000. (Use your equation from part (d). Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
D) Find the estimated total cost for a net taxable estate of $2,250,000. (Use your equation from part (d). Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
E) Based on these results, what would be the probate fees and taxes for an estate that does not have any assets? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
F) What is the slope of the least squares (best-fit) line? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

An economist would like to estimate the 99% confidence interval for the average real estate taxes collected by a small town in California. In a prior analysis, the standard deviation of real estate taxes was reported as $1,520. [You may find it useful to reference the z table.] What is the minimum sample size required by the economist if he wants to restrict the margin of error to $660? (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and "z"...
