Answer 2

Option B. is correct

Explanation:

Given: The regression equation is y = 1.73 x + 0.39

To find: number of representatives for Oregon, which has a population of about 3.3 million

Solution:

The regression equation determined the specific relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.

To find number of representatives for Oregon, which has a population of about 3.3 million, put
`x=3.3` in the regression equation is y = 1.73 x + 0.39

`y = 1.73 x + 0.39\\y = 1.73 (3.3) + 0.39\\=5.709+0.39\\=6.099\\\approx 6`

So, 6 representatives for Oregon has a population of about 3.3 million

Option B. is correct
