Answer:
25 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation of the best line of fit, [tex] y = 0.677x + 1.77 [/tex] , the number of students predicted to be in the matching band, if we have 35 students in the concert band, can be approximated by plugging in 35 as "x" in the equation of the best line of fit, and solve for "y". y would give us the predicted number of students to expect in the marching band.
[tex] y = 0.677(35) + 1.77 [/tex]
[tex] y = 23.695 + 1.77 [/tex]
[tex] y = 25.465 [/tex]
The approximated number of to be in the marching band, with 35 students in the concert band is roughly 25 students.
