Question

A sports announcer states that there are 65,000 fans in the stadium.Estimate the maximum noise level

Answer 1

Question:

The scatter plot shows the maximum noise level when different numbers of people are in a stadium. The linear model is given by the equation y=1.5x + 22.7 where y represents maximum noise level and x represents the number of people, in thousands, in the stadium.​​​​​​

A sports announcer states that there are 65,000 fans in the stadium. Estimate the maximum noise level. Is this estimate reasonable? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

y=97522.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y=1.5x+22.7

x=65000

Required

Find y

Substitute 65000 for x in the given equation

y= 1.5 * 65000 + 22.7

y=97500+22.7

y=97522.7

It is reasonable because as the population increases, the noise level also increases
