Dr. Lillian Fok, a New Orleans psychologist, specializes in treating patients who are agoraphobic (i.e., afraid to leave their homes). The following table indicates how many patients Dr. Fok has seen each year for the past 10 years. It also indicates what the robbery rate was in New Orleans during the same year:

Year	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Number of Patients	36	34	39	40	42	54	62	53	57	62
Robbery Rate per 1,000 Population	58.3	60.6	73.0	75.2	78.5	88.6	99.6	94.2	102.2	117.2

The simple linear regression equation that shows the best relationship between the number of patients and year is (round your responses to three decimal places):

Ý=_____+_____x

where

Ý= Dependent Variable and x = Independent Variable.

Using linear

regression,

the number of patients Dr. Fok will see in year

11=______ patients (round your response to two decimal places).

Using linear regression, the number of patients Dr. Fok will see in year

12=______patients (round your response to two decimal places).
