Answer:
The number of situps is: 16.4405
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]y = ax + b[/tex]
[tex]a =-1.077[/tex]
[tex]b=30.98[/tex]
[tex]r^2 = 0.74476[/tex]
Required
Predict y when [tex]x = 13.5[/tex]
In the result, we have:
[tex]y = ax + b[/tex]
[tex]a =-1.077[/tex]
[tex]b=30.98[/tex]
This implies that:
[tex]y = -1.077x + 30.98[/tex]
To make prediction when [tex]x = 13.5[/tex]
We have:
[tex]y = -1.077*13.5 + 30.98[/tex]
[tex]y = -14.5395 + 30.98[/tex]
[tex]y = 16.4405[/tex]
