Question
What is the relationship between the amount of time statistics students study per week and their final exam scores? The results of the survey are shown below.
Time | 6 | 0 | 14 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 14 | 5 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Score | 64 | 66 | 91 | 65 | 59 | 60 | 86 | 71 |
- Use the model to predict the final exam score for a student who spends 9 hours per week studying.
Final exam score = (Please round your answer to the nearest whole number.) - Interpret the slope of the regression line in the context of the question:
- As x goes up, y goes up.
- The slope has no practical meaning since you cannot predict what any individual student will score on the final.
- For every additional hour per week students spend studying, they tend to score on averge 1.89 higher on the final exam.
- Interpret the y-intercept in the context of the question:
- If a student does not study at all, then that student will score 60 on the final exam.
- The y-intercept has no practical meaning for this study.
- The average final exam score is predicted to be 60.
- The best prediction for a student who doesn't study at all is that the student will score 60 on the final exam.
