For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 300. In 1900, the population was 0.
For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 300. In 1900, the population was 0.
For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 1,590. in 1900, the population was 20,000.
For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 1,590. in 1900, the population was 20,000.
For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 650. In 1900, the population was 20,000.
For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 650. In 1900, the population was 20,000.
For every 0.65 of a year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 1,000. In 1900, the population was 20,000.
The correct interpretation is:
For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 300. In 1900, the population was 0.
are you sure
Yes, I am sure. The correct interpretation is indeed "For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 300. In 1900, the population was 0."
The correct interpretation is:
For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 300. In 1900, the population was 0.
This means that on average, for each year that passed since 1900, the population of the city increased by around 300 people. The slope of the linear model is 300, indicating the rate at which the population is growing.
The y-intercept represents the starting point of the model, in this case, the population in 1900. Since the y-intercept is 0, it means that in 1900, which is the reference year, the population was 0.
