A hi-fi store kept track of the number of advertisements it placed in local newspapers and the number of stereo systems it sold each week.

Find the logarithmic regression equation.

• $y\ =\ 6.5\ \cdot\ \ln\left(x\right)\ +\ 3.7$

• $y\ =\ 3.7\ \cdot\ \ln\left(x\right)\ =\ 6.5$

• $y\ =\ 6.5\ \cdot\ \left(3.7\right)^x$

• $y\ =\ 3.7\ \cdot\ \left(6.5\right)^x$
