Answer 1

Answer:

(a)23 (b)90 (c)3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the line of best fit for this situation is given as

$y=\frac{3}{10}x+8$

where x=average temperature in degrees

y=average number of hot dogs she sold,

(a) The expected number of hot dogs sold when the temperature is 50° would be___hot dogs.

When x=50°

$y=\frac{3}{10}X50+8=15+8=23$

When the temperature is 50°, the expected number of hot dogs sold would be 23.

(b)If the vendor sold 35 hot dogs, the temperature is expected to be ___degrees.  

If y=35

$35=\frac{3}{10}x+8\\35-8=\frac{3}{10}x\\27=\frac{3}{10}x$

Multiply both sides by 10/3

$27 X \frac{10}{3}= \frac{3}{10}x X \frac{10}{3}\\x=90^{0}$

If the vendor sold 35 hot dogs, the temperature is expected to be 90 degrees.  

(c) Based on the line of best fit, for every 10-degree increase in temperature, she should sell 3 more hot dogs.
