Question

For all students who have taken a certain class during the last ten years, the
average on the mid-term is 83.4 and the standard deviation of the mid-term
scores is 7.2; the average on the final is 79.3 and the standard deviation of the
scores on the final is 5.1; the correlation between scores on the mid-term and
scores on the final is 0.86.

4. My teacher has lost our mid-term scores (but at least has our scores on
the final), so she is fitting a straight line to guess what we probably got on
the mid-term. What’s the equation of the line she is using?


5. I got a 90 on the final. What does my teacher think I got on the midterm?
