The Kansas City Chiefs are trying to figure out if there is a relationship between the number of passes thrown by Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the total passing yards earned in each game.
Using your graphing calculator, analyze their data and then answer the 2 questions below.
Passes Thrown, [39] [35] [35] [37] and [40
Total Passing Yards [360] [235] [262] [249] [338]
• What is the linear regression equation that represents this data? Round to the nearest whole number. (worth 2 points)
Using your equation, calculate the number of passing yards the Chiefs can expect if Mahomes throws 38 passes in a game. (worth 2 points)
