Math Problem Statement
Find the equation of the regression line for the given data. Then construct a scatter plot of the data and draw the regression line. (The pair of variables have a significant correlation.) Then use the regression equation to predict the value of y for each of the given x-values, if meaningful. The number of hours 6 students spent for a test and their scores on that test are shown below. font size decreased by 1 font size increased by 1 Hours spent studying comma x 0 1 3 3 4 6

Formulas
Regression Line Equation: y = mx + b
Slope Formula: m = Σ((x_i - x̄)(y_i - ȳ)) / Σ((x_i - x̄)^2)
Correlation Coefficient (r): r = Σ((x_i - x̄)(y_i - ȳ)) / sqrt(Σ(x_i - x̄)^2 * Σ(y_i - ȳ)^2)
