Homework scores are based on assignments that proceeded the exam. The maximum homework score a student could obtain was 500 and the maximum midterm score was 350. The regression line that was obtained is given by:
Y= -94.4 + .91x
If a student had a homework score of 420, the midterm score would be predicted to be (round to an integer:

the homework score is independent (known) and on the x-axis. The midterm exam is on the y-axis
y=0.91x-94.4; x=420
y=382.2-94.4=287.8, or 288.
D.
