A software developer is looking for ways to predict how many bugs will appear in future projects. He used a bug-tracking database to analyze several recent projects.
From the database, he recorded the number of lines of code for each project, x. He also looked up the number of bugs that had been found in each project's code, y.
The least squares regression line of this data set is:
y=0.016x–76.477
Complete the following sentence:
For each additional line of code, the least squares regression line predicts more bugs would be found in that project.
