Use the given data to find a regression line that best fits the total annual cost data for cost C in dollars as a function of the production level x widgets.  Here, cost is the dependent variable, and production level is the independent variable.

Find the regression function for cost, and write it as C ( x ) = m x + b, where m is rounded to the nearest tenth, and b is rounded to the nearest tenth.

  1. Enter the value for m, rounded to the nearest tenth.
  2. Enter the value for b, rounded to the nearest tenth.
  3. Use the regression function C ( x ) = m x + b with m rounded to the nearest tenth and b rounded to the nearest tenth.

    Compute C ( 45 ), rounded to the nearest tenth.

  4. Use the regression function C ( x ) = m x + b with m rounded to the nearest tenth and b rounded to the nearest tenth.

    Compute C ( 0 ), rounded to the nearest tenth.
