Question

The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several Northwestern states.

xx 11.5 8.5 7 3.7 2.7 2.5 2.6 0.8
yy 13.8 11.1 10.1 7.2 6.4 6.1 6.1 4.8

xx = thousands of automatic weapons
yy = murders per 100,000 residents

This data can be modeled by the equation ˆy=0.85x+4.05.y^=0.85x+4.05. Use this equation to answer the following.


A) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 6.7 thousand automatic weapons?

Answer =  Round to 3 decimal places.

B) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 3.3 thousand automatic weapons?
