A regression analysis to predict the average attendance from the number of games won gives the model attendance = wins. Predict the average attendance of a team with 470 wins. Explain any possible problems with this prediction. A) 106,940 people. A team doesnʹt play that many games and their stadiums probably canʹt hold that many people. B) 14 people. There are other factors besides number of games won. C) 7834 people. There is no problem with this prediction. D) 101,740 people. A team doesnʹt play that many games and their stadiums probably canʹt hold that many people. E) 104,340 people. It is only an estimate. 17) 18) 19) 4
