Every day for a week, he counts how many times each player can leg press 350 pounds. The following week, he has each player sprint 40 yards every day. The tables shows the average number of leg-press repetitions and the average 40-yard dash time (in seconds) for seven randomly selected players. What is the equation of the line of best fit

Complete question :

A college football coach wants to know if the is a correlation between his players' leg strength and the time it takes for them to sprint 40 yards. he sets up the following test and records the data:

Every day for a week, he counts how many times each player can leg press 350 pounds. The following week, he has each player sprint 40 yards every day. The tables shows the average number of leg-press repetitions and the average 40-yard dash time (in seconds) for seven randomly selected players. What is the equation of the line of best fit? How many seconds should he expect a player to take to run 40 yards if that player can do 22 leg-press repetitions?

Leg Press (reps)|40-yard Dash (s)

15 |5.2

18 |6.3

8 |6.8

30 |8.2

26 |8.0

12 |5.3

21 |5.9

ŷ = 0.1073X + 4.5365

6.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Leg Press (reps)X:

15

18

8

30

26

12

21

Y:

5.2

6.3

6.8

8.2

8.0

5.3

5.9

Using a regression calculator :

The equation of line of best fit is :

ŷ = 0.1073X + 4.5365

Slope or gradient = 0.1073

Intercept = 4.5365

X = independent or predictor variable (leg press)

Y = predicted variable (40 yard dash)

B)

X = 22

Y = 0.1073(22) + 4.5365

Y = 6.8971

Y = 6.9

0.85 or 85%

step-by-step explanation:

1) divide 23 by 27

2) round the decimal to the nearest 10

3) so your answer would be 0.85 or 85%
