The required linear regression equation is [tex]y = 21.6x + 1093.2[/tex].
The projected number of new cases for 2013 is 1352.
Given that,
The number of newly reported crime cases in a county in New York State is shown in the accompanying table,
Where x represents the number of years since 2001, and y represents number of new cases.
We have to determine,
The linear regression equation that represents this set of data.
And Using this equation, find the projected number of new cases for 2013.
According to the question,
The line of best-fit is given by:
[tex]y = bx+a[/tex]
Assume [tex]y = kx + b[/tex]
And,
[tex]k = \dfrac{change \ in \ y} {change \ in \x }\\\\k = \dfrac{1194-1086}{5-0}\\\\k = \dfrac{108}{5}\\\\k = 21.6[/tex]
Then, pass from the point (3, 1158),
[tex]y = kx + b \\\\1158 = 21.6 \times 3 + b \\\\1158 = 64.8 +b \\\\b = 1158 - 64.8\\\\b = 1093.2[/tex]
Then ,
The projected number of new cases - the number of years since 2001
[tex]= 2013-2001 \\\\= 12[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]y = 21.6\times 12 + 1093.2\\\\y = 259.2 + 1093.2 \\\\y = 1352.4\\\\y = 1352 \ approx[/tex]
Hence , The required linear regression equation is [tex]y = 21.6x + 1093.2[/tex].
And The projected number of new cases for 2013 is 1352.
