Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of donuts consumed in a month = y

Age = x

Regression equation obtained :

y=47-1.36x

Meaning of slope of the regression line ;

y = mx + c; where m = slope of the regression line

Hence, the value of slope in the equation is = - 1.36

Thus, the slope can be interpreted as ; The number of donuts consumed in a month is expected to decrease by 1.36 for per(1) increase in age x of consumer.

If there are 45 guests at the party, predict how many would choose a gift card?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Since there is a 50-50 chance of a person at the party choosing a gift card, and since there can only be 1 of 2 outcomes, we can assume that there will either be more people choosing a gift card than not, or there will be more people not choosing a gift card than are. So, that means that there would be 23 people (more or less) choosing a gift card and 22 people (more or less) not choosing a gift card or vice-versa.
