Answer:
He should study for at least 88 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing parameters are:
[tex]y = 0.36805x + 42.6864[/tex] --- equation of trend
[tex]y \to grade[/tex]
[tex]x \to time[/tex]
Required
x when [tex]y = 75[/tex]
[tex]y = 0.36805x + 42.6864[/tex] becomes
[tex]75 = 0.36805x + 42.6864[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]0.36805x = 75 - 42.6864[/tex]
[tex]0.36805x = 32.3136[/tex]
Solve for x
[tex]x = \frac{32.3136}{0.36805}[/tex]
[tex]x = 87.80[/tex]
[tex]x \approx 88[/tex]
