pay interest periodically and to repay the initial amount borrowed at a specified future date. Bonds will usually have a 
specified interest rate (called the coupon rate) and are most often in denominations of $1,000. Bonds also usually pay 
interest every six months. The...

Trend Lines  
A trend line is actually an equation of a line in the form Y = mX + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the Y-
intercept. Linear regression calculates the equation for this line by minimizing the sum of the squared residuals between 
the actual data points and the predicted data points using the estimated line’s slope and intercept. Once the slope and 
intercept have been calculated,...

Example 2: A store’s quarterly sales for the last 2 years have been $30,000, $31,200, $30,500, $32,400, $32,200,  
 $33,100, $32,600 and $33,250. Use a trend line to predict sales for the next year and also predict when  
 estimated sales would reach $38,000. What is the correlation of the linear regression line? 
 
Solution: The X values will be the quarters of 1 through 8. The Y values will be the...
