question 110

Multiple Choice

Write the best-fit linear model for the data.
-A study was conducted to compare the average time spent in the lab each week versus course grade for computer students. The results are recorded in the table below. Find a linear function that approximates a student's course grade
As a function of the number of hours spent in lab. $\begin{array}{cc}\text { Number of hours spent in labrade (percent) } \\\hline 10 & 96 \\11 & 51 \\16 & 62 \\9 & 58 \\7 & 89 \\15 & 81 \\16 & 46 \\10 & 51\end{array}$

• A) \(y = 1.86 + 88.6 x\)
• B) \(y = 88.6 - 1.86 x\)
• C) \(y = 44.3 + 0.930 x\)
• D) \(\mathrm { y } = 0.930 + 44.3 \mathrm { x }\)
