A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and
number of situps a person can do (y).
The results of the regression were:
y=a+bx
a=28.724
b=-1.299
r2=0.388129
r=-0.623
Use this to predict the number of situps a person who watches 7 hours of TV can do (to one decimal place)
