Question
The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several
Northwestern states.
I 11.6
y
8.5 6.8 3.3 2.5
14 11.2 9.7
2.6 2.4
0.9
7
6.4
6.2 5.9 4.8
I = thousands of automatic weapons
y = murders per 100,000 residents
This data can be modeled by the linear equation
ŷ
= 0.85x+4.05
a. How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 6.8 thousand automatic
weapons? Round to 3 decimal places.
murders per 100,000 residents
b. How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 8.8 thousand automatic
weapons? Round to 3 decimal places.
murders per 100,000 residents
