Final Grade Prediction
1. The problem asks to predict the final grade based on a class project score of 76% using the trendline equation from the right graph.
2. The trendline equation relating final grade $y$ to class project grade $x$ is given as:
$$y = 0.433x + 51.145$$
3. To find the predicted final grade, substitute $x = 76$ into the equation:
$$y = 0.433(76) + 51.145$$
4. Calculate the multiplication:
$$0.433 \times 76 = 32.908$$
5. Add this to 51.145:
$$y = 32.908 + 51.145 = 84.053$$
6. Round the result to two decimal places:
$$\boxed{84.05}$$
Therefore, the predicted final grade for a student who scored 76% on the class project is 84.05%.
