Question 47 NECO_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2022 • MATHEMATICS • objective

In a class of \(30\) students, the mean score on Exam\,1 is \(70\) with a standard deviation of \(8\). The mean score on Exam\,2 is \(75\) with a standard deviation of \(10\). The correlation coefficient between the two exam scores is \(0.5\). (i) Find the least‑squares regression line that predicts the Exam\,2 score \(y\) from the Exam\,1 score \(x\). (ii) Using this line, estimate the Exam\,2 score of a student who obtained \(80\) on Exam\,1. (iii) Assuming Exam\,2 scores are normally distributed, calculate the probability that a randomly selected student scores above \(85\) on Exam\,2.

Answer Options

A. Regression line: y = 0.625x + 31.25; Estimated Exam 2 score for 80: 80; Probability of scoring above 85: 0.250 (≈25 %)
B. Regression line: y = 0.75x + 30; Estimated Exam 2 score for 80: 90; Probability of scoring above 85: 0.100 (≈10 %)
C. Regression line: y = 0.5x + 35; Estimated Exam 2 score for 80: 75; Probability of scoring above 85: 0.200 (≈20 %)
Correct Answer D. Regression line: y = 0.625x + 31.25; Estimated Exam 2 score for 80: 81.25; Probability of scoring above 85: 0.159 (≈15.9 %)
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Regression line: y = 0.625x + 31.25; Estimated Exam 2 score for 80: 81.25; Probability of scoring above 85: 0.159 (≈15.9 %)
