An Economist Estimates the Following Model: Y = β₀

An economist estimates the following model: y = β₀ + β₁x + ε. She would like to construct interval estimates for y when x equals 2. She estimates a modified model where y is the response variable and the explanatory variable is now defined as x⁺ = x - 2. A portion of the regression results is shown in the accompanying table. According to the modified model, which of the following is the predicted value of y when x equals 2?

A) 2.52
B) 24.78
C) 27.30
D) 29.82
