The linear regression equation that represents this data is given as follows: y = 22x - 518.
Using this equation, when 38 passes are thrown, the expected yardage is of 318 yards.
<h3>How to find the equation of linear regression?</h3>
To find the regression equation, also called line of best fit or least squares regression equation, we need to insert the points (x,y) in the calculator. These points are given on a table or in a scatter plot in the problem.
In the context of this problem, the input and output are given as follows:
- Input: number of passes thrown by Patrick Mahomes.
- Output: number of passing yards obtaining by Mahomes/KC.
The points to be inserted in the calculator are given as follows:
(39, 360), (35, 235), (35, 262), (37, 249), (40, 338).
Hence the equation is given by:
y = 22x - 518.
With 38 passes, the expected yardage is calculated as follows:
y = 22(38) - 518 = 318 yards.
