Answer:

c. 44,950,000

Explanation:

The following table is missing:

Year Attendance (millions)

1985 18.4

1990 25.2

1995 33.1

2000 37.6

Using a calculator, the line of best fit is obtained. Equation:

y = 1.31x - 2581.6

where y is attendance (in millions) and x is the year. Replacing with x = 2005 into the equation, we get:

y = 1.31(2005) - 2581.6

y = 44.95 millions or 44,950,000
