An engineer creates a model to predict the electric consumption of a household in summer in a day with a predictor variable of the number of hours the air-conditioner is running. The electric consumption is only at 23 kWh per day if aircon is not used. If the aircon was used by 1 hr, the electric consumption would increase by an additional 1.55 kWh. Find the average electric consumption if the aircon is used 17 hrs.
