Find the equation of the line of best fit for the given data
y = 163.41x+1.49
y =- 163.41x+ 4.19
y =- 4.19x+163.41
y = 4.19x -163.41

Phil collected data from several of his friends about the number of hours they spent sleeping and the number of hours they spent playing video games on Saturday. He recorded the data in the scatterplot. Based on the scatterplot, what is the best prediction of the number of hours one of Phil's friends spends sleeping when the friend spends 1 hour playing video games?
9 hours
10 hours
7 hours
8 hours
Students in a science class investigated how the speed of changes with the air temperature outside. The data is shown in the scatterplot. Based on the scatterplot, what is the best prediction of the speed of sound when the air temperate is 50 degrees C?
350 m/s
355 m/s
360 m/s
380 m/s
The scatterplot shows the number of people in each of 8 different households and the average amount of money each household spent on groceries. Based on the scatterplot, what is the best prediction of the average amount of money spent on groceries for a household that has 7 people?
$240
$190
$210
$300
The scatterplot shows the average number of hours each of 13 people spends at work every week and the average number of hours each of them spends on recreational activities every week. Based on the scatterplot, what is the best prediction of the average number of hours a person spends at work every week if that person spends an average of 10 hours on recreational activities each week?
33 h
85 h
50 h
65 h
y= 40x+100, where x is number of weeks and y is weight in grams.
What does the y-intercept mean in context of the problem?
I. Random scatter in the residuals indicates a linear model.
II. If two variables are very strongly associated, then the correlation between them will be near 1 or -1.
III. Changing the units of measurement for x or y changes the correlation coefficient.
