Question

A transportation engineer wants to determine the number of vehicles that drive through an intersection on a given day. The following table shows the total number of vehicles that drove through the intersection over a 10-hour period.

The transportation engineer determines that the linear function that best models the data is, y = -16.7333 + 52.7515x where y represents the total number of vehicles that drove through the intersection and x represents the number of hours. The following graph shows the residuals for this function.

Answers

  1. Answer:
    510.7817 or 511
    explanation:
    First you’re going to have to substitute 10 in for x, so
    Y= 52.7515(10) -16.7333
    Y=527.515-16.7333
    Then subtract
    Y=510.7817
