Suppose the regression line for the number of runs scored in a season, y , is given by ˆy=−790+5400x , where x is the team's batting average. For a team with a batting average of 0.235, find the expected number of runs scored in a season. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. If we can expect the number of runs scored in a season is 400, then what is the assumed team's batting average? Round your answer to three decimal places.

479 = expected runs

0.220 = assumed batting average

Step-by-step explanation:

ˆy=−790+5400x

For an x value of 0.235, we have to calculate ˆy, or the predicted value. Plugging 0.235 in for x, we get

-790 + 5400 * 0.235 = 479

If ˆy = 400, we have to calculate x.  Plug 400 in for y in our equation to get

400 = -790 + 5400x

add 790 to both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

1190 = 5400x

divide both sides by 5400 to solve for x

x= 0.220
