Answer

$y= 16.49 - 0.00282x$ $15.09$

Work Step by Step

Let X be the amount of lemon imports. Y is the Crash Fatality Rate. $\sum X=1863$ $\sum Y=77.2$ $\sum X\times Y=28571.7$ $\sum X^{2}=762589$ $a=16.49 \rightarrow b=-0.0028$ We can use the equation formula: $y= a + bx = 16.49 - 0.00282x$ Substitute x with $500$: $y=16.49-0.0028\times500=15.09$
