\begin{aligned}
& b_{y x}=\frac{\operatorname{Cov}(x, y)}{\sigma_x{ }^2}=\frac{\frac{\left(\sum(x-\bar{x})(y-\bar{y})\right.}{n}}{\sigma_x{ }^2} \\
& =\frac{120}{8 \times 4}=3.75
\end{aligned}
$
Regression equation of $Y$ on $X$ is
$
\begin{aligned}
& (y-\bar{y})=b_{y x}(x-\bar{x}) \\
& (y-36)=3.75(x-20) \\
& (y-36)=3.75 x-75 \\
& y=3.75 x-39
\end{aligned}
