Question
The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several
Northwestern states.
11.3
8.5
7.2
3.9
2.8
2.5
2.2
0.4
13.8
11.4
10
6.1
I = thousands of automatic weapons
y = murders per 100,000 residents
6.5
6.1
4.7
This data can be modeled by the equation y = 0.84x + 4.11. Use this equation to answer the following;
A) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 6.6 thousand automatic
weapons?
Answer =
Nearest whole value.
B) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 5.7 thousand automatic
weapons?
Answer =
Nearest whole value
