78Line of best fit
A line of best fit for a scatterplot relating weekly study time h, in hours, to test score s is s = 3.2h + 61. What test score does the line of best fit predict for a student who studies 9 hours a week? A) 64.2 B) 85.0 C) 89.8 D) 92.0
Studying 9 hours a week predicts a score of 89.8, choice C. Plugging h = 9 into s = 3.2h + 61 gives s = 3.2(9) + 61 = 28.8 + 61 = 89.8.
