The total square footage of mini storage units being rented in a city is graphed to forecast future demand. The scatter plot has

a trend line y=0.538x + 9.02, where x = 0 is the year 2005 and y is the total area rented (in ten thousand square feet) of all mini storage units in the city. If the total area rented continues to increase at the same rate, about how many square feet of mini storage units will be needed by the year 2018?
A 190,000 sq ft
B 160,000 sq ft
C 19,000 sq ft
D 16,000 sq ft

Answer:

B 160,000 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

2018 is 13 years after 2005.

Put x=13 in the equation and evaluate:

... y = 0.538·13 +9.02 = 6.994 +9.02 = 16.014

This is the number of 10,000 sq ft, so the required area is ...

... 16 times 10,000 sq ft = 160,000 sq ft.

Answer:

D) 16,000 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The scatter plot has a trend line y = 0.538x + 9.02, where "x" represents the number years and "y" represents the area rented.

x =0, when the year 2005

Here we need to find the storage area needed in the year 2018

Therefore, x = 13 in the year 2018.

Now plug in x = 13 in the given equation and find the value of y.

y = 0.538(13) + 9.02

y = 6.99 + 9.02

y = 16.01 thousand square feet

y = 16.01 *1000

y = 16,010 square feet

The nearest approximate value 16,000 sq.ft

The answer is D) 16,000 sq ft

Thank you.

lions [1.4K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct statement that is used when a scatter plot is constructed is:

The independent variable is the input variable and should be represented by the x-axis.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that while plotting a graph or a scatter plot the x-axis which is the horizontal axis of the plot represents the input value or the value of the independent variable and the output value i.e. the value of the function corresponding to the input value is represented by the y-axis.

As the value of the output is evaluated corresponding to the input value hence the variable y is also known as the dependent variable and is represented by the y-axis.
