12.3 Linear Regression Equation The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several Northwestern states. T 11.3 8.5 6.6 3.6 2.5 2.3 2.3 0.5 y 13.7 11.1 9.7 7.1 6.3 6.2 6.1 4.5 T = thousands of automatic weapons y = murders per 100,000 residents This data can be modeled by the equation y = 0.84x + 4.16. Use this equation to answer the following; A) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 1.4 thousand automatic weapons? Answer = Nearest whole value. B) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 5.7 thousand automatic weapons? Answer = Nearest whole value > Next
