(choose chapter or problem)

Auditors are often required to compare the audited (or current) value of an inventory item with the book (or listed) value. If a company is keeping its inventory and books up to date, there should be a strong linear relationship between the audited and book values. A company sampled ten inventory items and obtained the audited and book values given in the accompanying table. Fit the model Y = 0 + 1x + to these data. Item Audit Value (yi) Book Value (xi) 1 9 10 2 14 12 37 9 4 29 27 5 45 47 6 109 112 7 40 36 8 238 241 9 60 59 10 170 167 a What is your estimate for the expected change in audited value for a one-unit change in book value? b If the book value is x = 100, what would you use to estimate the audited value?
