Answer:
36.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for the given data
Required
Which length is closest to 4.2lb
The given data is a linear dataset.
So, we start by calculating the slope (m)
Pick any two corresponding points from the table
So, we have:
So:
The linear equation is then calculated using:
This gives:
Open bracket
To get the length closest to 4.2lb,
we set 
Then solve for x
So, we have:
Collect like terms
Solve for x

Answer:
- y = 0.937976x +12.765
- $12,765
- $31,524
- the cost increase each year
Step-by-step explanation:
1. For this sort of question a graphing calculator or spreadsheet are suitable tools. The attached shows the linear regression line to have the equation ...
... y = 0.937976x + 12.765
where x is years since 2000, and y is average tuition cost in thousands.
2. The y-intercept is the year-2000 tuition: $12,765.
3. Evaluating the formula for x=20 gives y ≈ 31.524, so the year-2020 tuition is expected to be $31,524.
4. The slope is the rate of change of tuition with respect to number of years. It is the average increase per year (in thousands). It amounts to about $938 per year.
5. [not a math question]
