A real estate agent made a scatter plot with the size of homes, in square feet, on the x-axis and the homeowner's property taxes on the y-axis. The variables have a strong linear correlation, and the equation for the least squares regression line is [tex]\hat{y} = 0.392x + 638.118[/tex].

Based on the equation, what should the agent expect the property tax to be for a 2,400-square foot home in the area?

Options:

A. $2,464.12
B. $1,578.92
C. $1,190.94
D. $940.80

Answer :

[tex]y = 0.392x + 638.118 \\ x = 2400 \\ y = (0.392 \times 2400) + 638.118 \\ y = 1578.92[/tex]

hope u understand
