Question

The scatter plot shows the systolic blood pressure of people of several different ages. The equation represents the linear model for this data. y = x + 95 According to the model, what is the systolic blood pressure of a newborn? 0 mm Hg 55 mm Hg 95 mm Hg 110 mm Hg 160 mm Hg

Answer 1

Answer: 95 mm Hg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The equation represents the linear model for the data is

$y=x+95$

Since, age is an independent quantity whereas blood pressure is dependent quantity.

Thus, y represents the  the systolic blood pressure of people of several different ages (x).

Now, the age of new born baby =0

Substitute x=0 in the equation , we get y=95

Hence, The systolic blood pressure of new born baby = 95 mm hg

Answer 2
