The data show systolic and diastolic blood pressure of certain people. Find the regressionequation, letting the systolic reading be the independent(x) variable. Find the best predicted diastolic pressure for a person with a systolic reading of 146. Is the predicted value close to 94.0, which was the actual diastolicreading? Use a significance level of 0.05.

What is the best predicted diastolic pressure for a person with a systolic reading of 146?

y =___

(Round to one decimal place asneeded.)

Is the predicted value close to 94.0, which was the actual diastolicreading?

A. The predicted value is very close to the actual diastolic reading.

B. The predicted value is exactly the same as the actual diastolic reading.

C. The predicted value is not close to the actual diastolic reading.

D. The predicted value is close to the actual diastolic reading.
