Assignment:
Q1. A mathematics instructor asked her students to keep track of how much time each spent studying the chapter on percent notation in her basic mathematics course. She collected the information, together with test scores from that chapter's test, in the table below.
a). Use the two points reporting data for 9 hours of study time and 23 hours of study time and find a linear function that fits the data. (You can ignore the other lines of data in the chart.)
b.) Use the function to predict the test score of someone who has studied for 18 hours.
Study Time, x (in hours) Test Grade, y (in percent)
9 74
11 94
13 81
15 86
16 87
17 81
21 87
23 92
