Predict the final exam score for a student who misses five class periods.

To determine if there is a linear relation between the number of days absent and the​ student's final exam​ score, compare the correlation coefficient to a critical value. Use technology to find the correlation​ coefficient, rounding to three decimal places. r=−0.954 Find the critical value for n=10. The critical value is 0.632. There is a linear relation because the absolute value of the correlation coefficient ​(0.954​) is greater than the critical value​ (0.632). Since there is a linear​ relation, substitute x=5 into the regression line equation and solve for y to predict the final exam score for a student who misses five class​ periods, rounding to two decimal places as needed. y=−2.795​(5)+89.905=75.93
