Question

Suppose the linear regression line y = 4.009x - 77.531 predicts a pizza

parlor's profits based on the number of pizzas sold. If x represents the
number of pizzas sold, and y represents the pizza parlor's profits in dollars,
about how much can the pizza parlor expect in profits if it sells 325 pizzas?

Answer 1

Option C, 1225

Explanation:

y=4.009x-77.531

selling 325 pizzas, so x=325, now putting the value of x in the equation,

y=4.009×325-77.531

or, y=1225.394

y = 1225.394, which is the profit, if we approximate it to the nearest value, it's $1225
