Question 487200: Table 8 lists enrollment in U.S. degree-granting institutions for both undergraduate and graduate students. A linear regression model for undergraduate enrollment is y = 0.17x + 10.1 where x represents years since 1980 and y is undergraduate enrollment in millions of students.
B) Predict the undergraduate student enrollment in 2016 (to the nearest 100,000).

2016 - 1980 = 36 years
+y+=+.17x+%2B+10.1+
+y+=+.17%2A36+%2B+10.1+
+y+=+6.12+%2B+10.1+
+y+=+16.22+
The undergraduate student enrollment in 2016
is +16.22+%2A+10%5E6+ = 16,220,000 students
or 16,200,000 to the nearest 100,000
