The number of athletes participating and the number of medals won in the Olympics by Japan through the last nine years 

(a) \(x=75\) athletes

(b) \(x=80\) athletes

(c) \(x=85\) athletes

(d) \(x=120\) athletes

Find the equation of the regression line for the data. Then construct a scatter plot of the data and draw the regression line. (Each pair of variables has a significant correlation.) Then use the regression equation to predict the value of \(y\) for each of the \(x\)-values, if meaningful. If the \(x\)-value is not meaningful to predict the value of \(y\), explain why not. If convenient, use technology.
