Question

A sports analyst determines that the number of points scored in a basketball game is related to the number of shots taken during the game. The least-squares regression line is y = 5. 0 + 1. 2x, where y is the predicted number of points scored and x is the number of shots taken. In one game, a team takes 50 shots and the residual is –10. How many points were scored by this team in this game?


45

55

65

75

Answer 1

Answer:

65

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 5.0 + 1.2x

when x = 50

y = 5.0 + 1.2 x 50

=  5.0 + 60

= 65
