) sold: A simple linear regression model fitted to the data is
y
=

3
y = 2x + 3
. The total Sum of Squares Error (SSE) for all five observations is 10. It is known that, on the fifth day, the actual number of drinks sold exceeded the value predicted by the regression line. Determine, correct to the nearest integer, the number of drinks sold on the fifth day.
