Question

correct answer from each drop - down menu.
shows the number of games a chess player won in professional competitions, based on the number of games played.

games played (x)	10	15	20	25	30

f best fit for the situation is y ≈ 1.06x - 6
ss player plays 40 games in the next competition, the expected number of games won would be approximately
33
40
30
36

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the linear model

The given line of best fit is $y = 1.06x - 6$.

Step2: Substitute x=40 into the model

Calculate $y = 1.06(40) - 6$.

Step3: Compute the result

$1.06×40 = 42.4$, then $42.4 - 6 = 36.4$, which approximates to 36.

Answer:

36
