Eighteen students sat for a 15 question multiple-choice test In the
scatterplot below, the number of errors made by each student on the test
is plotted against the time they reported studying for the test A least
squares regression line has been determined for this data and is also
displayed on the scatterplot
10203040506070
study time (minutes)
The equation for the least squares regression line is
number of errors = 88-0120x study time
and the coefficient of determination is 08198
1 Using the least squares regression line, it can be estimated that, on
average, a student reporting a study time of 35 minutes would make

To linearise the scatterplot, she applies an x-squared transformation.
She then fits a least squares regression line to the transformed data
with y as the dependent variable.The equation of this least squares
regression line is closest to
A y = 7.1 + 2.9x2
B y = 29.5 + 26.Sx2
C y = 26.8-29.5x1
