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
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
