To predict the score for a student who studied for 7 hours using the information from the scatter plot, we can analyze the pattern of the line of best fit.
From your description, we see that the line of best fit starts at the point (0, 49) and increases with study hours. Since the line has passed through the points (5, 70), (6, 75), and (7, 80), we can conclude that:
- At 5 hours, the score is 70.
- At 6 hours, the score is 75.
- At 7 hours, the score is 80.
Since you provided that a student studied for 7 hours, and the plot indicates a score of 80 at that point, we can predict that the score would be 80.
Thus, the predicted score for a student studying for 7 hours is 80.
