A property developer has a plan for a massive new amusement park, but is unsure how many people will go to the new park. She decides to collect data from other amusement parks across the United States. For each park, she noted the number of rides x, as well as the average daily attendance y. The regression line is: y=45.924x+3,788.659
Using the regression line, about many people would attend this park if there were zero rides?
If there were zero rides at the new amusement park, according to the regression line y = 45.924x + 3,788.659, the estimated average daily attendance would be:
y = 45.924(0) + 3,788.659
y = 3,788.659
Therefore, if there were zero rides at the new park, the estimated average daily attendance would be approximately 3,789 people.
