Divide the below data into four brands according to the maximum number of copiers served (X). Brand 1 ranges from x=0.5 to X=2.5; band 2 ranges from x=2.5 to 4.5 and so forth. Determine the median value of X and the median value of Y in each of the bands and develop the band smooth by connection in the four pairs of medians by St lines on a scatter plots of the data. Does the band smooth suggest that the regression relation is linear? Discuss?
