Researchers have created a prediction equation to predict a state’s average SAT score (Y’) using the percentage of HS seniors who take the SAT as their predictor variable (X). The prediction equation has a slope of -2.5 and a y-intercept of 510. Knowing that 30 percent of all high school seniors in Wisconsin take the SAT, you predict Wisconsin’s average SAT score to be ; if Wisconsin actually has an average SAT score of 460, you calculate a prediction error of .

a) 435 average SAT score

b) 25        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

State’s average SAT score(y') is the dependent variable and percentage of HS seniors(x) is the independent variable.

Slope, m  = -2.5

y-intercept, c = 510

We can write the regression equation as:

Predicted SAT score when 30 percent of all high school seniors in Wisconsin take the SAT.

We put x = 30

Thus, the average SAT score would be 435.

Actual average SAT score = 460

Prediction Error =

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
