The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several Northwestern states.x

x 11.6,8.3,6.8,3.6,2.6,2.6,2.3,0.6

y 13.9,10.9,9.9,7.1,6.1,6.1,6,4.4

x= thousands of automatic weapons

y= murders per 100,000 residents

This data can be modeled by the equation y=0.86x +3.93. Use this equation to answer the following;

Special Note: I suggest you verify this equation by performing linear regression on your calculator.

A) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 4.3 thousand automatic weapons?

Answer = Round to 3 decimal places.

B) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 10.1 thousand automatic weapons?
