Goals scored: 75 60 56 44 43 40 37 52

Position: 2 5 9 10 14 16 17 22

(a) Produce a scatter diagram to display the data taking league position as the dependent variable (Y).

(b) Using simple linear regression, determine the line of best fit and plot it on your scatter diagram.

(c) Predict the final position of a team that scored 50 goals using your regression equation.
