Best predicted number of people


In a study conducted by University of Arizona researchers, the total weight (in pounds) of garbage discarded in one week and the household size were recorded for 62 households. The linear correlation coefficient is r = 0.759 and the regression equation is y = 0.445 + 0.119x, where x represents the total weight of discarded garbage. The mean of the 62 garbage weights is 27.4 lb and the 62 households have a mean size of 3.71 people. What is the best predicted number of people in a household that discards 50 lb of garbage?
