The scatter plot showing data gathered and line of best fit is attached below :
Answer:
69
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the regression model :
y = 1.73x + 0.0924
Where,
y = number of pink flowers
x = Red flowers
Slope = 1.73
Intercept = 0.0924
The number of pink flower that are predicted to bloom on a shrub of 40 red flowers :
Put x = 40 and calculate the value of y
y = 1.73(40) + 0.0924
y = 69.2 + 0.0924
y = 69.2924
Number of pink flowers = 69
Let's call the number we're looking for . We know that
is twice as much as
.
Twice as much as a number simply means the double of that number, and in turn the double of a number means to muliply that number by 2.
So, in order to obtain , you have to multply
by 2. In formula, you have
or simply
