QUESTION 2
A Mathematics teacher wants to create a model by which she can predict a learner’s
final marks. She decided to use her 2015 results to create the model.
Preparatory

(y)
2.1 Determine the equation of the least squares regression line in a form of y a bx (3)
2.2 Use the equation of the regression line to predict the final exam mark for a
learner who attained 46% in the preparatory examination. (2)
2.3 Could you use this equation to estimate the preparatory exam mark for a
learner who attained 73% in the final exam? Give a reason for your answer. (2)
2.4 Show that the point ( x ; y ) lies on the regression line. (4)
