For a random sample of 6 observations of pairs of values \((x,y)\), the equation of the regression line of \(y\) on \(x\) is \(y=bx+1.306\), where \(b\) is a constant. The corresponding equation of the regression line of \(x\) on \(y\) is \(x=0.6331y+d\), where \(d\) is a constant. The values of \(x\) from the sample are

2.3 2.8 3.7 \(p\) 6.1 6.4

and the sum of the values of \(y\) is \(46.5\). The product moment correlation coefficient is \(0.9797\).

(i) Find the value of \(b\), correct to 3 decimal places.

(ii) Find the value of \(p\).

(iii) Use the equation of the regression line of \(x\) on \(y\) to estimate the value of \(x\) when \(y=8.5\).
