Answer:
64.0% is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the given scatter plot of voter turnout every year:
X axis represents the year and
Y axis represents the percentage of people who voted.
The model was predicted as per the equation:
[tex]y = -0.1271x + 307.53[/tex]
To find: Prediction for the year 1900.
Putting the value of [tex]x=1900[/tex], the value of y will be the predicted value of the model i.e. the value of percentage of voter turnout.
[tex]\Rightarrow y = -0.1271\times (1900) + 307.53\\\Rightarrow y = -241.49 + 307.53\\\Rightarrow y = -64.04\%\\OR\\y \approx 64.0\%[/tex]
So, the model predicts [tex]y \approx 64.0\%[/tex] for the year 1900.
