The equation for the trendline of the scatterplot is Y equals 12 X +5, where X represents the cars age, and why represents the mileage (in thousands of miles) . Using this equation, determine how many miles a car that is 16 years old is expected to have. Show your work.
To determine the expected mileage of a car that is 16 years old using the equation Y = 12X + 5, we simply plug in the value of X as 16:
Y = 12(16) + 5
Y = 192 + 5
Y = 197
Therefore, a car that is 16 years old is expected to have 197,000 miles.
