Use the equation of the line of best fit, $y = -0.77x + 26.08$, to answer the questions below. Give exact answers, not rounded approximations. (a) What is the predicted time spent doing homework for a student who spends 12 hours watching TV? hours (b) What is the predicted time spent doing homework for a student who doesn't spend any time watching TV? hours (c) For an increase of one hour in the time spent watching TV, what is the predicted decrease in the time spent doing homework? hours

b. Use technology to find the equation of the line of best fit, y = mx + b, and the coefficient of determination and interpret the slope, the vertical intercept, and the coefficient of determination. (Round the answers to 3 decimal places.) c. Use the line of best fit to: i. estimate the final exam score of a student who studied for 13.5 hours. Answer: % (Round the answer to the nearest unit.) ii. estimate how many hours a student studied if their final exam score is 66.5%. Answer: hours (Round the answer to the nearest unit.)

The scatter plot shows the time spent studying, x, and the midterm score, y, for each of 25 students. Midterm score Time spent studying (in hours) Use the equation of the line of best fit, y = 3.80x + 16.80, to answer the questions below. Give exact answers, not rounded approximations. (a) What is the predicted midterm score for a student who doesn't spend any time studying? (b) What is the predicted midterm score for a student who studies for 15 hours? (c) For an increase of one hour in the time spent studying, what is the predicted increase in the midterm score?
