Answer:
y hat = 2114.20 + 18.96x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the least square regression model equation:
y hat = -959.00 + 8.60x
weld diameter x ; shear strength y (in pounds)
1 lb = 0.4536 kg
To express shear strength y in kilogram:
y is multiplied by 0.4536
(y hat × 0.4536) = -959.00 + 8.60x
Divide both sides by 0.4536
(y hat × 0.4536) / 0.4536= (-959.00 + 8.60x) / 0.4536
y hat = 2114.1975 + 18.959435x
y hat = 2114.20 + 18.96x
the point of intersection on the graph are (3,-2)
If you take the original amount 45 and subtract the admission fee 17 you get what is left over which would be 28 dollars. Good Luck and I hope that this helps!!
