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.
