Suppose the entering freshmen at a certain college have a mean combined SAT score of 1217, with a standard deviation of 126. In the firstsemester, these students attained a mean GPA of 2.66, with a standard deviation of 0.52. A scatterplot showed the association to be reasonablylinear, and the correlation between SAT score and GPA was 0.42.

What SAT score would you predict a freshman who attained afirst-semester GPA of 2.4 would havegotten? Note that in thiscase, the explanatory variable is thestudent's GPA and the response variable is their SAT score.
