xyx¯x(x¯x)2(y¯y)(x¯x)(y¯y)52.5243.867.7264112.362.366.54.50.50.251.860.9376000.36089112.642.64911244.649.28=10.5=23.5

¯x=xn=497=7
¯y=yn=44.57=6.36

M=ni=1(xi¯x)(yi¯y)ni=1(xi¯x)2=23.510.5=2.24
B=¯yM¯x=6.362.24×7=9.32

The line of best fit is y=2.24 x9.32
Substituting 8.5 in the equation, we have
y=2.24×8.59.32=9.72

Average salary corresponding to 8.5 CGPA is 9.7 lakhs per annum
