Question

The table shows the total number y (in billions) of U.S. movie admissions each year for x years. Use a graphing calculator to find an equation of the line of best fit for the data. Round each value to the nearest hundredth.
The line of best fit is y = _

(I need this by 11 pm please)

Answer 1

Answer:

By rounding up of the constant and coefficient terms, we have;

The line of best, fit is y = 1.23 + 3.46 × 10⁻²·x

Step-by-step explanation:

The table for the data on the number of movie admissions each year is presented as follows;

Year, x                                             ${}$                      Admission, y

0                                                      ${}$                         1.24

2                                                       ${}$                        1.26

4                                                      ${}$                         1.39

6                                                      ${}$                         1.47

8                                                      ${}$                         1.49

10                                                      ${}$                        1.57

Using a graphing calculator, we have that the line of best fit is given by the following equation;

y = 1.23047619048 + 3.45714285714 × 10⁻²·x

Which is approximately, y = 1.23 + 3.46 × 10⁻²·x
