Attendance Temperature


1. **State the problem:** We are given the line of best fit equation $$y = 2.5x - 50$$ where $x$ is the high temperature in °F and $y$ is the attendance. 2. **Understand the problem:** We want to check which statement is true about attendance on days with high temperatures of 60°F and 80°F. 3. **Use the equation to find attendance for 60°F:** $$y = 2.5(60) - 50 = 150 - 50 = 100$$ So, attendance is about 100 people, not 150. 4. **Use the equation to find attendance for 80°F:** $$y = 2.5(80) - 50 = 200 - 50 = 150$$ So, attendance is about 150 people. 5. **Conclusion:** The statement "On a day with a high temperature of 80°F, the attendance would likely be about 150 people" is true. Hence, the correct statement is the one about 80°F temperature attendance.
