Answer:
The expected student enrollment in 2003 is 1244.
Explanation:
The given diagram it is clear that the graph represents the relationship x and y, where x is number of years since 2000 and y is number of student enrollment.
From the given figure it is clear that the equation of best fit line is
[tex]y=82x+998[/tex] .... (1)
We need to find the expected student enrollment in 2003.
Year 2003 is 3 years since 2000.
Substitute x=3 in equation (1) to find the expected student enrollment in 2003.
[tex]y=82(3)+998[/tex]
[tex]y=246+998[/tex]
[tex]y=1244[/tex]
Therefore the expected student enrollment in 2003 is 1244.
