Answer: a) about 450
Step-by-step explanation:
50 multiplied by 9 is 450 and its asking for an approximate so it would be anything near 450
If the value of the baseball card increases by 3% per year then we can say that each year the value of the card may be multiplied by 103% = 1.03, thus:
Value after n years = original price*(1.03)^n
Value after 15 years = 75*(1.03)^15
= $116.85

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.
