The number of nickels from a particular year found in a sample of 1,000 is related to the number of nickels that were minted that year. This can be expressed as y=2.04x+0.806 where x is the number of nickels minted in a particular year in hundreds of millions and y is the number of nickels from that year in a sample of 1,000. What does the slope of the line represent?
A. the additional number of nickels from a particular year you'd expect to find in a sample of 1,000 for every additional hundred million minted
B. number of nickels in a sample of 1,000 from a year in which none were minted
C. number of nickels in a sample of 1,000 from year zero
D. the number of nickels you would expect to find in a sample of 1,000 for every hundred million minted
