Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The regression line for the predicted value of aptitude given age is  Aptitude =109.71.10 Age \text { Aptitude }=109.7-1.10^{*} \text { Age }. We need to find the expected aptitude test score for a person whose age is16 years.

STEP 2

The regression line equation gives us the expected aptitude score for any given age. We can use this equation to find the expected aptitude score for a16-year-old by substituting16 for Age in the equation.
 Aptitude =109.71.10 Age \text { Aptitude }=109.7-1.10^{*} \text { Age }

STEP 3

Substitute16 for Age in the equation.
 Aptitude =109.71.1016\text { Aptitude }=109.7-1.10^{*}16

STEP 4

Perform the multiplication operation.
 Aptitude =109.717.6\text { Aptitude }=109.7-17.6

STEP 5

Subtract17. from109.7 to find the expected aptitude score.
 Aptitude =92.1\text { Aptitude }=92.1

STEP 6

The problem asks for the answer to be rounded to the nearest whole number. So, we round92.1 to the nearest whole number.
 Aptitude 92\text { Aptitude } \approx92The expected aptitude test score for a person whose age is16 years is approximately92.
