Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on the given information, the regression equation is Current GPA = 3.584756 + 0.090953 × Entering GPA. This means that we estimate that the current GPA for these students increases by 0.090953 points for each 1 point increase in their entering GPA. Therefore, option D is the correct choice. Options A, B, C, and E are all incorrect as they either have the variables in the wrong order, have incorrect coefficients, or have an incorrect constant term.
