The equation of the line of best fit for variables x and y is \(y = 19.33 + 0.42x\), where x is the independent variable. Estimate the value of y when x = 15.
18.91
19.75
25.63
38.23
Explication
\(y = 19.33 + 0.42x\)
\(\text{The value of y when x = 15} = 19.33 + (0.42 \times 15)\)
= \(19.33 + 6.30\)
= 25.63
