Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define
</u>
y = home runs
x = hits
[Best Line of Fit] y = 0.15x - 1.5
<em>We can use this to predict the average of the scatter plot.
</em>
home runs = y = 35
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em><u> hits</u>
-
Substitute [BLF]: 35 = 0.15x - 1.5
- Add 1.5 on both sides: 36.5 = 0.15x
- Divide 0.15 on both sides: 243.333 = x
- Rewrite: x = 243.333
Remember that this is a <em>prediction</em>. According to the best line of fit, we would need approximately ~243 to get 35 home runs.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum the product of the components in the first row of A with the corresponding components of the first column in B
Repeat this with the components in the second row of A with the corresponding components of the second column in B, that is
AB
