Linear Regression Application, Interpolation and Extrapolation Use the data and story to answer the following questions The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several Northwestern states. 11.8 8.5 6.8 3.6 2.8 2.2 2.4 0.8 y 13.9 11 10.1 6.9 6.4 5.8 5.8 4.8 x = thousands of automatic weapons y = murders per 100,000 residents Use your calculator to determine the equation of the regression line. (Round to 2 decimal places) Determine the regression equation in y = ax + b form and write it below. A) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 10.2 thousand automatic weapons? Answer = Round to 3 decimal places. B) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 3.4 thousand automatic weapons? Answer = Round to 3 places
