A statistician develops a model to determine how many minutes it will take an individual to fall asleep given the number of hours they spent looking at a screen throughout the day. Using their model, y=7+2.6x
, how many minutes should it take to fall asleep for someone who watched a screen for five hours throughout the day?
A. 9.6 minutes
B. 37.6 minutes
C. 20 minutes
To find the number of minutes it would take for someone who watched a screen for five hours throughout the day to fall asleep, we can use the equation y = 7 + 2.6x.
Plugging in x = 5 (number of hours spent looking at a screen), we get:
y = 7 + 2.6(5)
y = 7 + 13
y = 20
Therefore, it should take 20 minutes for someone who watched a screen for five hours throughout the day to fall asleep.
C. 20 minutes
