Question

The regression line (trend line, line of best fit) equation for the scatter plot is given by: 11174.3 x − 399.1. Estimate the distance for a waggle duration of 4.6. Round your answer off to the nearest 100. (Be sure to use a comma in the number, if necessary.)

Answer 1

The distance for a waggle duration of 4.6 is 51,002.68 units.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

`y = 11174.3 x - 399.1`

The above equation is a regression equation for estimating distance for a waggle duration and x is the duration.

We have to estimate the distance for a waggle duration of 4.6

Putting x = 4.6

`y = 11174.3(4.6) - 399.1\\y = 51002.68`

Thus, the distance for a waggle duration of 4.6 is 51,002.68 units.
