Given a table represents the data between resting and the maximum
Resting will be the variable x
Maximum will be the variable y
So, we will check which equation will give the correct regression line
when x = 50, y = 169
A) 158x + 0.22 = 7900.22
Wrong option as 7900.22 is much higher than 169
B) y = 158
Wrong option, because it will give a horizontal line
C) y = 0.22x - 158
0.22 * 50 - 158 = -147
Wrong option as (-147) much smaller than 169
D) y = 0.22x + 158
0.22 * 50 + 158 = 169
Correct option, it gives the same result as the table
So, the answer will be option D) y = 0.22x + 158
Now, we will find the maximum heart rate when x = 41, 56, and 77
so, we will substitute with (x) into the equation y = 0.22x + 158
The answer will be rounded to the nearest integer
So, the answers will be:
When x = 41, y = 167
When x = 56, y = 170
When x = 77, y = 175
