PLEASE HELP 1) Find the equation of the trend line (line of best fit). SHOW WORK

2) Predict the number of tips that would be collected if 100 costumers were served at the restaurant on a given day. Explain your reasoning.

3)EXPLAIN how to use the regression calculator to make a reasonable prediction given a data table

(I don't know how to attach more than 1 picture by the way )

1) y = 1.8741176487x + 3.655964863

2) About $191 using the equation, about $180 or more using the data you are given.

3) I can use the regression calculator by using the largest number of customers you have in the data set and lowest number of customers and compare them to see if the numbers are in ascending or descending order.

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
