Question

read the following description of a data set. a large property developer owns a number of suburban apartment complexes. the developer wants to see if planting more trees will increase the demand for her apartments. the developer notes the number of trees planted in each apartment complex she owns, x, as well as the number of rental applications filled out for each complex in one month, y. the least squares regression line of this data set is: y = 1.457x + 40.204 how many rental applications does this line predict for a month if 13 trees are planted in the apartment complex? round your answer to the nearest integer. rental applications

Explanation:

Step1: Sustituir el valor de x

Dado la ecuación $y = 1.457x+40.204$ y $x = 13$. Sustituimos $x$ en la ecuación: $y=1.457\times13 + 40.204$.

Step2: Realizar la multiplicación

Calculamos $1.457\times13 = 18.941$. Entonces $y=18.941 + 40.204$.

Step3: Realizar la suma

Sumamos $18.941+40.204 = 59.145$.

Step4: Redondear al entero más cercano

Redondeando 59.145 al entero más cercano obtenemos 59.

Answer:

59
