What is the relationship between the attendance at a major league ball game and the total number of runs scored? Attendance figures (in thousands) and the runs scored for 12 randomly selected games are shown below.

1. Use the model to predict the runs scored at a game that has an attendance of 39,000 people.
   Runs scored =  (Please round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
   
   
   
   


2. Interpret the slope of the regression line in the context of the question:
   Please select from the following.
   
   
   

   
   
   • For every additional thousand people who attend a game, there tends to be an average increase of 0.13 runs scored.
   
   
   • As x goes up, y goes up.
   
   
   • The slope has no practical meaning since the total number runs scored in a game must be positive.
   
   

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   


3. Interpret the y-intercept in the context of the question.
   Please select from the following.:
   
   
   

   
   
   • The average runs scored is predicted to be 2.
   
   
   • If the attendance of a baseball game is 0, then 2 runs will be scored.
   
   
   • The best prediction for a game with 0 attendance is that there will be 2 runs scored.
   
   
   • The y-intercept has no practical meaning for this study.
