4. A teacher at a certain school hypothesized that his 40 students in Mathematics would achieve 75% on
their test performance. In order to validate the claim of the teacher, the school principal administered the
Math test to the 40 students in the school. After the test, the actual scores of the group in an 80-item Math
test were collated and recorded. The results showed that the actual mean of the group was 58.5 with a

45. A biologists wants to study the relationship between the number of trees per square meter(x) and the
number of birds per square meter (y). She came up with the equation of the regression line: ^y =3 x + 4. What
is the interpretation of the slope and the y-intercept?
A. The slope is 3. The positive slope indicates a positive relationship between x and y. It means that
for every additional tree x, you can expect an additional birds y per square meter. The y – intercept is
4. It means that the average number of birds per square meter in an area with no trees(x=0) is 4. This
value is relevant because the number of trees can be 0 and it is not possible to have a bird in an area
without trees.
B. The slope is 3. The positive slope indicates a positive relationship between x and y. It means that
for every additional tree x, you can expect an additional birds y per square meter. The y – intercept is
4. It means that the average number of birds per square meter in an area with no trees(x=0) is 3. This
value is relevant because the number of trees can be 0 and it is possible to have a bird in an area
without trees.
C. The slope is 3. The positive slope indicates a positive relationship between x and y. It means that
for every additional tree x, you can expect an additional birds y per square meter. The y – intercept is
