triangles
along with the grades they each earned on that test.

Let the number the number of hours of television each of the students watched the night before the test be x while the grades they each earned on that test be y.
We use the following table to find the equation of the line of best fit of the regression analysis of the data.

Recall that the equation of the line of best fit of a regression analysis is given by
where:
and
Thus, the equation of the line of best fit is given by y = 97.95 - 7.391x
<span>A student that watched 1.5 hours of TV will have a score given by
y = 97.95 - 7.391(1.5) = 97.95 - 11.0865 = 86.8635
Therefore, </span><span>a student’s score if he/she watched 1.5 hours of TV to the nearest whole number is 87.</span>
Let the number the number of hours of television each of the students watched the night before the test be x while the grades they each earned on that test be y.
