2.5 Homework Handout The table below give the average life expectancy (in years) of a person based on various years of birth. Let x represent the number of years since 1900. (x = 10 represents the year 1910) Year of Birth (x) 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Life Expectancy (y) 47.3 50 54.1 59.7 62.9 68.2 69.7 70.8 73.7 90 75.4 a.) Graph the data below (be sure to scale and label your axes appropriately). Draw in an estimate of the best fit line. Find two points on the line and estimate the equation for the best fit line without a calculator. Equation of best fit line from graph (no calculator): y = _____________________________ SHOW WORK! b.) Graph a scatterplot of the data on your graphing calculator.
