Step 3: Making predictions using data You and your business partner track the number of customers served and the amount of tips collected per day. The data you gathered is displayed in the chart below.

Servers’ Collected Tips

Customers 54 46 34 67 52 22 49 64 55 80 38 42

Tips ($) $92 $80 $76 $121 $109 $43 $87 $114 $99 $174 $88 $91

a) Create a scatterplot displaying the data in the table. Be sure to include a linear trend line. (2 points)

b) Find the equation of the trend line (line of best fit). Show your work. (2 points)

c) Predict the amount of tips that would be collected if 100 customers were served at the restaurant on a given day. Explain your reasoning. (2 points)

d) Explain how to use the regression calculator to make a reasonable prediction given a data table. (2 points)

step-by-step

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
