Suppose the manager of a gas station monitors how many bags of ice he sells daily along with recording the highest temperature e
ach day during the summer. The data are plotted with temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), as the explanatory variable and the number of ice bags sold that day as the response variable. The least squares regression (LSR) line for the data is ????ˆ=−125.30+2.32???? . On one of the observed days, the temperature was 82 °F and 68 bags of ice were sold. Determine the number of bags of ice predicted to be sold by the LSR line, ????ˆ , when the temperature is 82 °F. Enter your answer as a whole number, rounding if necessary.
The error is that 9 shouldnt be written as nine it should be written as 3x3 or 3^2. So the answer should be 2^3 x 3^2 because 9 can be divided into even more prime factors of 72.
