Recall that the equation of the regression line is given by
where
and
Thus, the equation of the regresson line is given by
The graph of the regression line is attached.
Using the equation, we can predict the percent donated in the year 2015. Recall that 2015 is 35 years after 1980. Thus x = 35.
The percent donated in the year 2015 is given by
Therefore, the percent donated in the year 2015 is predicted to be 90.5
