Question

A student at a junior college conducted a survey of 20 randomly selected full-time students to determine the relation between the number of hours of video game playing each week, x, and grade-point average, y. She found that a linear relation exists between the two variables. The least-squares regression line that describes this relation is y^= 0.0511x + 2.9447. (a) Predict the grade-point average of a student who plays video games 8 hours per week. The predicted grade-point average is (Round to the nearest hundredth as needed.) b) Interpret the slope. For each additional hour that a student spends playing video games in a week, the grade-point average will by points, on average. (c) If appropriate, interpret the y-intercept. A. The grade-point average of a student who does not play video games is 2.9447. B. The average number of video games played in a week by students is 2.9447. C. It cannot be interpreted without more information. (d) A student who plays video games 7 hours per week has a grade-point average of 2.48. Is the student's grade-point average above or below average among all students who play video games 7 hours per week? The student's grade-point average is average for those who play video games 7 hours per week.

Explanation / Answer

a) y = -0.0511*8+2.9447 = 2.54

b) Decrease, 0.0511

c) Option A is Correct

d) y(7) = -0.0511*7+2.9447 = 2.59
