Chester used the regression equation of the weight loss plan to make a prediction within the given data range. Complete his work to calculate the number of weekly hours of aerobic activity needed for a monthly weight loss of 3 pounds. Round to the nearest hundredth.

1. Regression equation: y = 1.178 x + 0.71. 2. Substitute 3 for y: 3 = 1.178 x + 0.71. 3. Subtract 0.71 from both sides: 2.29 = 1.178 x. 4. Divided both sides by 1.178: StartFraction 2.29 Over 1.178 EndFraction = StartFraction 1.178 Over 1.178 EndFraction x.
