Y = 89.5 + 0.409x Is a line of regression corresponding to a set of data which compares.

The number of commuters to number of paelinf spots at a given station.

The Metro-North Station of Greenwich, CT, has 2804 commuters. Find the predicted number of parking spots at the Metro-North Station.

A.) 1057 spots

B.) 2894 spots

C.) 6637 spots

D.) 1237 spots

D.) 1237 spots

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the following regression line;

y = 89.5 + 0.409x

It is reasonable to argue that the number of commuters determines the number of parking spots and as such commuters is our explanatory variable (x). On the other hand, the number of parking spots is our response or dependent variable (y).

We are required to predict the number of parking spots at the Metro-North Station of Greenwich which has 2804 commuters. We are simply asked to determine the value of y when x is 2804 using the regression line;

y = 89.5 + 0.409 (2804)

y = 1236.336

y = 1237
