Step 1 :Given the regression line equation \(y = 8.791x - 392.966\), where \(x\) is the high temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and \(y\) is the ice cream sales for a local store.
Step 2 :We are asked to find the predicted sales when the high temperature is 94 degrees Fahrenheit. This can be found by substituting \(x = 94\) into the regression line equation.
Step 3 :Substituting \(x = 94\) into the equation gives \(y = 8.791(94) - 392.966\).
Step 4 :Solving the equation gives \(y = 433.38800000000003\).
Step 5 :Rounding to the nearest cent gives \(y = 433.39\).
Step 6 :Final Answer: The predicted sales when the temperature is 94 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately \(\boxed{433.39}\) dollars.
