investigate the connection between an athlete's height and 3000-meter run time.
Coach Sloan has recorded the heights of the men on the track and field team (in
centimeters), x, and their best 3000-meter times (in minutes), y.
The least squares regression line of this data set is:
y = -0.081x + 21.412
How quickly does this line predict a man who is 166 centimeters tall would run the 3000-
meters?
Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
minutes

Respuesta :

Using the line of best fit, it is found that the projected time for a man who is 166 cm tall is of 7.966 minutes.

What does the line of best fit gives?

It gives the project time in minutes to run the 3000 meters for a men of a height of x centimeters, according to the following function:

y = -0.081x + 21.412.

Hence, for a men of 166 centimeters, x = 166 and the projected time in minutes is given as follows.

y = -0.081(166) + 21.412 = 7.966.
