inputting the data for the worksheet using the TI-30XIIs

To get into the correct mode, follow these instructions.

[2nd][data]

move the underline so it is under 2-var, then press [enter].

[2nd][data]

move the underline so it so under clrdata, then press [enter].

now we enter the data.

[data]
x1 = 856.7[down]
y1 = 15.22[down]
x2 = 907.9[down]
y2 = 16.79[down]
x3 = 974.1[down]
y3 = 19.81[down]
x4 = 930.9[down]
y4 = 17.88[down]
x5 = 885.9[down]
y5 = 16.84[down]
x6 = 886.1[down]
y6 = 16.87[down]
x7 = 926.8[down]
y7 = 17.48[down]
x8 = 928.4[down]
y8 = 17.34[down]
x9 = 802.9[down]
y9 = 12.22[down]
x10 = 834.8[down]
y10 = 11.16[down]
x11 = 734.3[down]
y11 = 9.37[down]
x12 = 816.3[down]
y12 = 10.26[down]
x13=[statvar]

The numbers you need are
rx,y = .946053079... ~= .946 (Above the 99% threshold of .708)
a = 0.048098608... ~= .0481
b = -26.92322636... ~= -26.9232

So the formula to find the points on the line is yp = ax + b if you use the exact values and if using the approximation, yp = .0481x - 26.9232.

Answer for both versions to the nearest penny in the comments.

Here are the absolute residual values rounded to the nearest penny for each month. There is only month where the rounded values and the complete values disagree when rounded to the nearest penny.

Jan. = 0.94
Feb. = 0.04
Mar. = 0.12
Apr. = 0.03 (lowest value)
May = 1.15
Jun. = 1.17
Jul. = 0.17 (or .18 using rounded)
Aug. = 0.39
Sep. = 0.52
Oct. = 2.07
Nov. = 0.97
Dec. = 2.08 (highest value)
