Problem 4

A researcher uses the regression equation y^=5+0.6x \hat{y} = 5 + 0.6x to predict the number of hours studied (y y ) based on the number of classes attended (x x ). The standard error of the estimate is se=2.5 s_e = 2.5 , the mean number of classes attended is xˉ=15 \bar{x} = 15 , n=12 n = 12 , and (xixˉ)2=120 \sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2 = 120 . Construct a 99%99\% prediction interval for a student who attended 2020 classes.
