The equation of the linear regression line represents the relationship between the number of cars washed for charity, x, and the amount earned for charity, y. yˆ=10x+20 How much money can the charity expect to earn if 50 cars come in for a wash?

Answer 1

The given regression shows the relationship between the numbers of car washed(x) and the amount earned for charity(y).

y = 10x + 20

We are to calculate the amount of charity if 50 cars are washed. Number of cars are represented by x, so by substituting x = 50 in above equation we can find the amount of charity that is earned by washing 50 cars.

y = 10(50) + 20 = $ 520

Thus, the charity can earn $520 if 50 cars come in for a wash.
