The Table Below Shows the Velocities, in Feet Per Second

question 8

Multiple Choice

The table below shows the velocities, in feet per second, of a ball that is thrown horizontally from the top of a 50 foot building and the distances, in feet, that it lands from the base of the building. Compute the linear regression equation for these data. $\begin{array} { c c } \text { Velocity } ( \mathrm { ft } / \mathrm { sec } ) & \text { Distance } ( \mathrm { ft } ) \\15 & 48 \\25 & 80 \\29 & 100 \\33 & 95 \\38 & 112 \\40 & 130 \\48 & 150\end{array}$
