Question 1005577: A researcher selected 8 chicken farms from across the state for a
study. The researcher recorded the number of hens and the number
of eggs laid by those hens over a 24-hour period. The researcher
then calculated a line of best fit for the data. The equation of the
line of best fit was y = 0.97x +3.06 where x represents the number
of hens and y represents the number of eggs.
Which statement is true?
A. 0.97 represents the average number of eggs laid by a hen per day.
B. 3.06 represents the average number of eggs laid by a hen per day.
C. 0.97 represents the average number of hens that laid eggs per day.
D. 3.06 represents the average number of hens that laid eggs per day
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = 0.97x + 3.06

As x increases by 1, y increases by 0.97

So if you add another hen (x), then you add roughly 0.97 more eggs (y)

This means the answer is 0.97 represents the average number of eggs laid by a hen per day which is choice A
