Question

The table below show the approximate population of Virginia for 5 years. What is the

equation of the line of best fit?

Answer 1

Y = 0.09X1 - 167.40

Explanation:

Year (X) : 2000, 2004, 2006, 2007, 20008

Population (millions) (Y) : 7.08, 7.48, 7.64, 7.71, 7.77

Using technology, the regression model obtained is :

Y = 0.09X1 - 167.40

With a slope of 0.09 and intercept of - 167.40
