Solution

To predict the number of Rod Diamond songs a 33-year-old person can name based on the given least squares regression line, we substitute the age (x) into the equation:

y = 0.032x + 17.851

Substituting x = 33, we get:

y = 0.032(33) + 17.851

Calculate the value of y:

y = 1.056 + 17.851 = 18.907

Rounding to the nearest integer, we get 19.

So, the line predicts that a 33-year-old person can name 19 Rod Diamond songs.
