Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Here we are given with the output of regression of number of sales persons in the branch to the annual sale at the office.

Using this we need to obtain the required values.

Here the value of the coefficients b0=163.4043 and b1=43.6862.

So, the sum will be 163.4043+43.6862(salesperson).
