Question 1
An IT company writes code for App development. The time taken (in hours) to write the programs and the
cost (in thousands of rand) are shown in the table below.

Time Taken
(in hours) 5 7 5 8 10 13 15 20 18 25 23
Cost (in thousands
of Rand) 10 10 15 12 20 25 28 32 28 40 30

1.1 Determine the equation of the least squares regression line. (2)
1.2 Use this equation to predict the cost, in rands, of an app that will take 16 hours to develop. (2)
1.3 Calculate the correlation coefficient and comment on the meaning of this value. (2)
1.4 For each app that the company develops, there is a fixed cost that is not dependent of the
number of hours spent. Calculate this cost. (2)
