12.3 Linear Regression Equation The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several Northwestern states. 11.3 8.5 6.8 3.4 2.6 2.2 2.5 0.8 y 13.5 11.1 10 6.8 6.3 6 6.5 4.6 I = thousands of automatic weapons y = murders per 100,000 residents This data can be modeled by the equation y = 0.83 + 4.13. Use this equation to answer the following; A) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 1.6 thousand automatic weapons? Answer = Nearest whole value. B) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 5.4 thousand automatic weapons? Answer = Nearest whole value Question Help: Video Message instructor Submit
