The data below are the final exam scores of 10 randomly selected history students and the number of hoursthey slept the night before the exam. Find the equation of the regression line for the given data. What would bethe predicted score for a history student who slept 7 hours the previous night? Is this a reasonable question?Round the regression line values to the nearest hundredth, and round the predicted score to the nearest wholenumber. $\begin{array}{l|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\text { Hours, } \mathrm{x} & 3 & 5 & 2 & 8 & 2 & 4 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 3 \
\hline \text { Scores, } \mathrm{y} & 65 & 80 & 60 & 88 & 66 & 78 & 85 & 90 & 90 & 71
\end{array}$
A) $\hat { y } = 5.04 \mathrm { x } + 56.11 ; 91$; Yes, it is reasonable.
B) $\hat { y } = 5.04 \mathrm { x } + 56.11 ; 91$; No, it is not reasonable. 7 hours is well outside the scope of the model.
C) $\hat { y } = - 5.04 \mathrm { x } + 56.11 ; 21$; No, it is not reasonable. 7 hours is well outside the scope of the model.
D) $\hat { y } = - 5.04 \mathrm { x } + 56.11 ; 21$; Yes, it is reasonable.

Without the specific calculations provided in the question, it's not possible to directly verify the accuracy of the regression equation or the predicted score. However, assuming the regression equation and the predicted score are calculated correctly based on the given data, the choice that includes a positive relationship between hours slept and exam score (indicating that more hours slept is associated with a higher exam score) and considers predicting a score for 7 hours of sleep as reasonable (since 7 hours is within the range of the provided data) would be the correct choice.
