Answer 1

To find the expected attendance in the year 2012, we first need to determine the number of years after 1993 that corresponds to 2012.

2012 - 1993 = 19 years.

From the table, we can observe the attendance values at different years after 1993:

• Year 0: 15,000
• Year 6: 24,000
• Year 7: 31,000
• Year 9: 27,000

Since the table does not provide attendance data for Year 19 directly, we can interpolate or extrapolate the values based on the existing data.

Without specific calculations for the line of best fit, we can use estimates from surrounding years. The pattern from the available attendance data suggests an increasing trend.

Given the options provided, based on the trend observed:

• 22,000
• 45,000
• 50,000
• 80,000

It would be reasonable to select 45,000 as an approximate expected attendance in the year 2012 given the upward trend in the data.

So, the completed sentence would be:

According to the line-of-best fit, the expected attendance in the year 2012 is approximately 45,000 people.
