In our data analysis that examined historical beef prices and the quantity demanded for beef, we determined that our regression function was: Y = -19.313x + 605.59 Where Y is equal to price and X is equal to quantity demanded.  Using your regression function, calculate the quantity demanded at a price of $300 and at a price of $150. (Hint: your regression function is used to forecast Y, but if we know Y, then we will need to perform simple algebra to solve for X). If the price of beef fell from $300 to a new price of $150. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity coefficient is:  Enter your answer as an absolute value with no negative sign, e.g. -1.82 =1.82
