Answer to Problem 5PPS
The equation of best line is
The
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: A table showing the number of annual violin auditions held by a youth symphony each year since 2009.
Calculation:
An equation of the best fit line is given by,
- Here, a is the intercept and b is the slope.
The years start from 2009 and go on till 2015.
Assume the year 2009 as 1 and x be the number of years since 2009.
