Step-by-step Answer:

One of the properties of a least-squares regression line (line of best fit) is that the line always passes through the point (xbar, ybar).

Assuming the given "line of best fit" is a least-squares line, then we are given

a slope m=1.885 passing through (x0,y0)=(3.448,12.318).

Applying the standard point-slope formula:

(y-y0) = m (x-x0)

we get

y-12.318 = 1.885(x-3.448)

Expand and simplify,

y=1.885x -1.885*3.448 + 12.318, or

y=1.885(x) + 5.81852

(numbers to be rounded as precision dictates).

To find the correct polynomial, we can use the answers to help us out. The middle variable must be the sum of +2 and another number; the last number in the equation must be the product of +2 and the other number.
Knowing this information, we can use the process of elimination to find the exact polynomial that contains the factor (3x + 2).

A) This can't be it because to get -x as the middle variable, you would need to add -3 and +2. However, -3 x +2 doesn't equal -4.

B) This equation isn't the right one because to get +8 you need to add +6 + 2. However, the product of these two isn't -8.

C) Can't be correct because +2 and -7 = -5, but 2 x -7 = -14...not -9.

D) Is the correct answer because you can add 2 and -1 to get +1. (There is an understood +1 in front of the x in the equation.) The product of 2 and -1 equals -2, which happens to be the last number inside this equation. Therefore, this (D) is the correct answer choice.

Hope I could help you out! If my math is incorrect, or I didn't provide the answer you were looking for, please let me know. However, if the answer was correct and well explained, please consider marking it <em>Brainliest</em>.

Have a good one!
God bless.

The mean of this data set is 9. What number is missing?<br><br> 11,20,_,3,1
kherson [118]
Let the missing number be x

Mean is the total sum of data over the number of data therefore,

(11+20+x+3+1) / 5 = 9
Then simplify
(35 + x) / 5 = 9
Then multiply 5 to both sides
35 + x = 45
Then subtract 35 to both sides to find x
X= 10

Hope this helps!
