I'm trying to figure out how to calculate SSxx, SSyy, and SSxy. I know these are sums of squares, but I'm not sure exactly how to compute them. Can someone explain the steps involved?

    After populating the table with the necessary values, we will sum each column.

    With these sums, we can then compute SSxy, which is the sum of the products of x and y minus the product of the sums of x and y divided by n. Similarly, we calculate SSxx, which is the sum of x squared minus the square of the sum of x divided by n.

    Using SSxy and SSxx, we can determine the slope of the line, β1, by dividing SSxy by SSxx.

    To find the solution in a straightforward manner, we can utilize a table.

    In this table, we need to calculate values for x, y, x squared, the product of x and y, and y squared.
