The scatterplot for number of enrollments, N, in a sports club, t years after the

year 2006. The equation of the line of the best fit is N = 62t + 35. Find the residual

for the number of enrollments in year 2020 if the actual enrollment is 885

students.

Answer:

13.7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line of the best fit is N = 62t + 35

where

N is the number of enrollments

t is years after the  year 2006

If the actual enrollment is 885 students. Put N = 885 in the given equation.

885 = 62t + 35

or

885 -35 = 62t

850 = 62t

t = 13.7 years

So, the required answer is 13.7 years.
