Question
The table below shows the number of state-registered
automatic weapons and the murder rate for several
Northwestern states.
2.7 0.7
6.1
6.3
4.3
X 11.5 8.4 6.8 3.9 2.5 2.5
13.7 11 9.8 7.5 6.5
У
x =
thousands of automatic weapons
y = murders per 100,000 residents
This data can be modeled by the linear equation
ŷ
= 0.84x4.04
a. How many murders per 100,000 residents can be
expected in a state with 2.2 thousand automatic
weapons? Round to 3 decimal places.
residents
murders per 100,000
b. How many murders per 100,000 residents can be
expected in a state with 7.6 thousand automatic
weapons? Round to 3 decimal places.
residents
murders per 100,000
