Using the information below calculate the predicted value for Y for the given value of X. Y (Dependent Variable) = Cost of a house in thousands of dollars (i.e. Y = 1 means one-thousand dollars) X (Independent Variable) = number of miles from an elementary school   yhat =  325 – 6*X   On average how many thousands of dollars will a house cost if it is 15 miles from an elementary school (round your answer to 4 decimal places)?
