Problem:
The table shows the distance and costs of flights for a given airline with the same starting destination and different ending destinations.
Distance (miles): 1281, 2796, 790, 150, 3211, 7810, 812, 210, 7742, 8578, 1346, 3214
Cost (dollars): 473, 683, 508, 301, 1115, 3619, 587, 540, 3013, 1647, 882, 817
a. Find the equation of the median-median line for the data.
b. Predict the cost of a flight that travels a distance of 1950 miles.
I've ordered the data and separated it into groups, but from there I keep getting stuck. I can't figure this out!
Ordered data:
Distance: |150, 210, 790, 812| |1281,1346, 2796, 3211,| |3214, 3528, 7742, 7810|
Cost: |301, 473, 508, 540,| |587, 683, 817, 882| |1115, 1647, 3013, 3619|
