Q. Read the following description of a data set.\newlineFans of the science fiction television show Space Cruiser Zeta are hosting a convention. To figure out how much space the event will require, an employee at the convention center looked at the space requirements for previous conventions.For each convention, the employee recorded the number of attendees, xx, and the floor space required (in square meters), yy.The least squares regression line of this data set is:y=2.163x3,973.266y = 2.163x - 3,973.266\newlineComplete the following sentence:\newlineThe least squares regression line predicts that a convention would use __\_\_ additional square meters of floor space for each additional attendee.
  1. Analyze regression equation: Analyze the regression equation to identify the coefficient of xx, which represents the change in floor space per additional attendee. The equation given is y=2.163x3,973.266y = 2.163x - 3,973.266.
  2. Identify coefficient of xx: Identify the coefficient of xx in the equation, which is 2.1632.163. This number tells us how many additional square meters of floor space are needed for each additional attendee.
