Based on the data from six students, the regression equation relating number of hours of preparation $(x)$ and test score $(y)$ is $y=67.3+1.07 x$. What is the predicted test score for a student who spent 2 hours preparing for the test?
A) 59.7
B) 78.1
C) 75.2
D) 69.4
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Define the Regression Equation
The regression equation relating the number of hours of preparation \( (x) \) and the test score \( (y) \) is given by:
\[
y = 67.3 + 1.07x
\]
Step 2: Substitute the Value of \( x \)
To find the predicted test score for a student who spent \( 2 \) hours preparing, we substitute \( x = 2 \) into the regression equation:
\[
y = 67.3 + 1.07(2)
\]
Step 3: Calculate the Predicted Test Score
Now, we perform the calculation:
\[
y = 67.3 + 2.14 = 69.44
\]
Final Answer
The predicted test score for a student who spent \( 2 \) hours preparing is:
