The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several Northwestern states. 7 3.7 2.4 2.5 2.1| 0.7 14 11.1| 9.9 7.1 6.3 6.3 6.1| 4.4 11.4 8.6 T = thousands of automatic weapons y = murders per 100,000 residents This data can be modeled by the equation y = 0.85x + 4.06. Use this equation to answer the following; A) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 1.8 thousand automatic weapons? Answer = Round to 3 decimal places. B) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 3.4 thousand automatic weapons? Answer = Round to 3 decimal places.
