Guided Example #1 - Regression and Correlation
A random sample of 23 students produced the following equation for the line of best fit y'=-138+4x Where x is the third exam score, out of 100, and y is the final exam score, out of 200. What would you predict the final exam score to be for a student who scored a 75 on the third exam?
A. 46 B. 262 C. 162 D. 126
Step 1
Simply set x =78 in the best fit equation and solve for y.
y'=-138+4x=-138+4(75)=162.
All Steps
Simply set x =78 in the best fit equation and solve for y.
y'=-138+4x=-138+4(75)=162.
