predict the attendance for minor league baseball in the year 2005. a. 5,208,000 b. 4,495,000 c. 44,950,000 d. 52,080,000

c. 44,950,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The following table is missing:

Year   Attendance (millions)  

1985   18.4  

1990   25.2  

1995   33.1  

2000  37.6  

Using a calculator, the line of best fit is obtained. Equation:

y = 1.31x - 2581.6

where y is attendance (in millions)  and x is the year. Replacing with x = 2005 into the equation, we get:

y = 1.31(2005) - 2581.6

y = 44.95 millions or 44,950,000
