1. Which graph is a scatter plot of the data from the table, click the links!

2. Which set of ordered pairs and equation for a best-fit line represents data from the table?

A. (x1, y1) = (64, 135), (x2, y2) = (74, 166)
y = 3.875x – 120.75

B. (x1, y1) = (62, 131), (x2, y2) = (70, 152)
y = 2.625x – 31.75

C. (x1, y1) = (62, 131), (x2, y2) = (72, 158.5)
y = 2.75x – 12

D.(x1, y1) = (64, 130), (x2, y2) = (72, 158.5)
y = 3.5625x – 98



5. Use a graphing calculator to determine which equation for the line of regression, Pearson product-moment correlation value (r), and predicted value match the data in the chart. The chart below shows the number of hours a student spent studying for a math test and the score the student earned on the test.

Hours Spent Studying | 0.5|1.25| 1.5 |1.75 |2 | 2.5 |3 |3.5 |4 |
Test Score | 90 | 75| 60 | 83 |75| 80| 99| 97| ? |


A. y = 6.4x + 69.5, r = 0.48
Predicted test score for 4 hours of study equals 95.

B. y = 6.1x + 74.5, r = 0.48
Predicted test score for 4 hours of study equals 99.

C.y = 5.1x + 74.5, r = 0.88
Predicted test score for 4 hours of study equals 95.

D. y = 7.4x + 69.5, r = 0.88
Predicted test score for 4 hours of study equals 99.
 
What have you tried? How far have you gotten? Where are you stuck?

Please be complete, so the volunteers know where to start helping you. Thank you! :wink:
