r = 0.45274 m = 2.740777 b = -159.553

With r = 0.4517, there exists a low positive linear relationship between the students’ general
average of major subjects and students’ general average on the board exam.

The relationship is given by the equation y = 2.7219x – 157.9256.

So if x = 87.70, the student’s general average on the board exam is estimated to be y = 2.7219(87.70) –
157.9256 = 80.79.
