Question 9

+3 marksNumerical answer

You have been closely monitoring your bike's mileage recently. Here is a table showing two rows representing the amount paid for fuel (in currency units) and the corresponding mileage (in Km). Consider yy as the amount paid and xx as the corresponding mileage in Km. You noted the distance travelled each time the fuel meter falls back to a fixed reference mark and predicted that the best-fit line equation is y=10x+11y = 10x + 11. What will be the value of SSE (Sum of Squared Errors) with respect to the best-fit line?
