1. The problem states that the line of best fit for attendance based on high temperature is given by the equation $$y = 2.5x - 50$$ where $x$ is the high temperature in °F and $y$ is the attendance.
2. We want to find the attendance for a day with a high temperature of 80°F using the equation.
3. Substitute $x = 80$ into the equation:
$$y = 2.5(80) - 50$$
4. Calculate the multiplication:
$$y = 200 - 50$$
5. Simplify the subtraction:
$$y = 150$$
6. This means on a day with a high temperature of 80°F, the attendance would likely be about 150 people.
7. Therefore, the statement "On a day with a high temperature of 80°F, the attendance would likely be about 150 people" is true.
8. For reference, the attendance at 60°F can be calculated similarly:
$$y = 2.5(60) - 50 = 150 - 50 = 100$$
So the attendance at 60°F would be about 100 people, not 150.
Hence, the correct statement is about the attendance at 80°F being about 150 people.
