It depends on the specific equation of the line of best fit that the teacher drew. To determine the expected quiz score for someone who studied 6 hours, you would need to use the equation of the line of best fit.
If the teacher did not provide the equation of the line of best fit, you would have to use the general equation of a line (y = mx + b) to calculate the expected quiz score. In this case, m would represent the slope of the line, which can be calculated from the data points that make up the line of best fit. Once you have the slope, b would represent the y-intercept, which is where the line intersects the y-axis.
However, without specific data or the equation of the line of best fit provided, it is not possible to accurately determine the expected quiz score for someone who studied 6 hours.
Hunter's math teacher plots student grades on their weekly quizzes against the number of hours they say they study on the pair of coordinate axes and then draws the line of best fit. Based on the line of best fit, what quiz score should someone who studied 6 hours expect?
