Your teacher surveyed the class to determine the number of hours that each student spent on social media. Your teacher created a table and scatterplot graph that displayed the number of hours x and the average final grade percentage y based on the hours. Using the equation of the trend line of tje data y = 7.2x + 98.9 predict the average final grade percentage to tje nearest whole number if a student spent 10 hours on social media

1 answer

To make the prediction, we substitute x = 10 into the given equation:

y = 7.2x + 98.9
y = 7.2(10) + 98.9
y = 72 + 98.9
y = 170.9

Therefore, if a student spent 10 hours on social media, the predicted average final grade percentage would be approximately 171.
