The scatterplot below is based on a survey I gave to a random sample of my Algebra 1-2 students. They estimated how many hours they spent on math, including time for synchronous classes (2.5 hours per week) and asynchronous classes (2.5 hours per week).

Question 1
1.
What does the circled point represent?
A Line of Best Fit has been graphed with the points. We're not going to get into it much, but it's helpful to see the relationship between the time someone puts in and their level of understanding.
The equation of this line is

Question 2
2.
What would you estimate about someone's understanding if they average 3 hours per week? (that's just half an hour outside of synch class)
Is there more than one way to figure this out?

Question 3
3.
What would you estimate about someone's understanding if they average 5 hours per week? (that's how long you are intended to spend in each class... I recognize some of you have responsibilities that prevent that)
Is there more than one way to figure this out?

Question 4
4.
What would you guess the relationship would look like for the "hours spent on math" and the "number of missing assignments" assuming that a class had given 10 assignments at that point?
Draw the line you would guess and then in the essay box, answer the question:
As the number of hours per week spent on math increases, what would you guess happens to the number of missing assignments?
