Answer:
The number of deliveries that are predicted to be made to homes during a week with 50 deliveries to business is 87 deliveries
Step-by-step explanation:
The data categorization are;
The number of home deliveries = x
The number of delivery to businesses = y
The line of best fit is y = 0.555·x + 1.629
The number of deliveries that would be made to homes when 50 deliveries are made to businesses is found as follows;
We substitute y = 50 in the line of best fit to get;
50 = 0.555·x + 1.629 =
50 - 1.629 = 0.555·x
0.555·x = 48.371
x = 48.371/0.555= 87.155
Therefore, since we are dealing with deliveries, we approximate to the nearest whole number delivery which is 87 deliveries.
