Complete question :
A taxi driver records the time required to complete various trips and the distance for each trip. The best fit line is given by the equation y = 0.467 x + 0.417 where y represents the distance in miles, and x represents the time for the trip in minutes. Use the best fit line to estimate the distance for a trip that takes 20 minutes.
Answer:
9.757 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the model Equation:
y = 0.467x + 0.417
y = predicted distance in miles
x = trip time in minutes
The distance for a trip that takes 20 minutes
Substitute 20 for X in the best fit equation
y = 0.467(20) + 0.417
y = 9.34 + 0.417
y = 9.757
Hence, distance in miles for a 20 minutes trip is 9.757 miles
