Question

I really need help with c,d and e

Answer 1

Explanation:

By using regression line calculator,

Equation of the line of best fit,

c). y = 0.74x + 0.03

Here, x = Number of pints

y = Weight in pounds

d). We have to find the weight of 10 pints of the blueberries,

By substituting x = 10 in the equation,

y = 0.74(10) + 0.03

y = 7.4 + 0.03

y = 7.43 pounds

e). If per pound cost of the blueberries = $2.25

By substituting y = 2.25 in the equation,

2.25 = 0.74x + 0.03

x =
`(2.22)/(0.74)`

x = $3.00 per pound

Therefore, cost of 10 pounds blueberries = 3 × 10

= $30
