Answer:
Option B. is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The regression equation is y = 1.73 x + 0.39
To find: number of representatives for Oregon, which has a population of about 3.3 million
Solution:
The regression equation determined the specific relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.
To find number of representatives for Oregon, which has a population of about 3.3 million, put [tex]x=3.3[/tex] in the regression equation is y = 1.73 x + 0.39
[tex]y = 1.73 x + 0.39\\y = 1.73 (3.3) + 0.39\\=5.709+0.39\\=6.099\\\approx 6[/tex]
So, 6 representatives for Oregon has a population of about 3.3 million
Option B. is correct
