Answer:
- y = 32.1x +779.9
- 1165 cases in 2010
Step-by-step explanation:
A suitable statistics calculator can tell you the coefficients of the linear regression equation. In the attached, we put the given x- and y-values into a table and asked for the best fit equation. Rounded to tenths, the equation is ...
y = 32.1x +779.9
The year 2010 is 12 years after 1998, so we can find the desired projection using x=12.
y = 32.1×12 +779.9 = 385.2 +779.9 = 1165.1
The number of cases is projected to be 1165 in 2010.
