Given

X̅ = mean of sales = 40

Y̅ = mean of advertisement cost = 6

Formula

Regression equation of X and Y = X - X̅ = r(x/y)(Y - Y̅)

Calculation

⇒ X - 40 = 0.09(10/1.5)(Y - 6)

⇒ X - 40 = (9/1.5)(Y - 6)

⇒ X - 40 = 6(Y - 6)

⇒ X - 40 = 6Y - 36

⇒ X = 6Y + 4

⇒ X = 6(10) + 4

∴ The likely sales for a proposed advertisement expenditure of Rs. 10 crore is 64 crore
