The scatter plot shows weekly hours of guitar practice, x, and performance scores, y. The line of best fit is y = 5x + 40. One student practiced 8 hours and scored 92. How many points above the predicted score is this student's actual score?
A. 8
B. 92
C. 80
D. 12

Answer

To find the predicted score, use the line of best fit equation: y = 5x + 40.

  1. Substitute x = 8 into the equation: y = 5(8) + 40 = 40 + 40 = 80.
  2. The actual score is 92. The difference is 92 - 80 = 12.

Answer: D. 12
