A sleep specialist wants to know if meditating before you go to sleep can help you fall asleep. She conducted a study where people would record how many minutes they meditated before getting into bed and how many minutes it took them to fall asleep.

Use the Desmos Graphing Calculator (right-click and open in a new tab/window) to calculate the following:
r=

x +
If someone was to mediate for 20 minutes, what would the regression line predict for the amount of time it would take for them to fall asleep?
r= -0.822
y= -0.822x + 56.8
If someone were to meditate for 20 minutes, the regression line would predict it would take them approximately 40.6 minutes to fall asleep.
