Make a scatterplot on graph paper and draw the line of best fit. Determine the equation of the line of best fit.
Place the Tired Behaviors on the
-axis and Test Score on the -axis for your scatterplot. The test score is
. The number of tired behaviors is . Using your equation from part (a), predict the test score of a student who exhibits
tired behaviors during Professor Saksunn’s math class in a week. Substituting
in for results in .
