Question 80

An environmental study records the daily duration of sunshine, sss hours, and the corresponding maximum electricity yield, EEE kWh, from a fixed solar panel array. Over n=15n=15n=15 days, the following summary statistics were obtained:

∑s=120∑s2=1120∑E=600∑E2=25500∑sE=5250 \sum s = 120 \quad \sum s^2 = 1120 \quad \sum E = 600 \quad \sum E^2 = 25500 \quad \sum sE = 5250 ∑s=120∑s2=1120∑E=600∑E2=25500∑sE=5250
