B. There is no practical interpretation since a sales revenue of $0 is a nonsensical value.
C. About 95% of the observed service charges fall within $2,700 of the least squares line.
The results of the simple linear regression are provided below.
Y = -2,700 + 20X, Syx = 65, two-tail p value = 0.034 (for testing β₁).
