A movie production company was interested in the relationship between a movie's budget and how well that movie

was received by the public. Information was collected on several movies and was used to obtain the regression

score of that movie (in points from 0 to 1). Which statement best describes the meaning of the slope of the regression
line?
O For each increase in score by 1 point, the predicted budget increases by $0.136 million.
For each increase in score by 1 point, the predicted budget increases by $0.145 million.
O For each increase in budget by $1 million, the predicted score increases by 0.136 points.
