You need to purchase supplies for an employee appreciation picnic. Your boss gives you the shopping list below and asks that you get the best deal by buying from one grocer, either Quality Groceries or Fresh Market. You call both grocers, and they provide the price information that you put into in the table. Which grocer will provide all these picnic supplies for the lowest cost, and what is that cost without sales tax?

Use a calculator to verify that σ(x) = 62, σ(x2) = 1034, σ(y) = 644, σ(y2) = 93,438, and σ(x y) = 9,622. compute r. (enter a number. round your answer to three decimal places.) as x increases from 3 to 22 months, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? explain your answer. given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases. given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases. given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases. given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases.
