Final answer:
The correct statement about the model is that students who didn't study at all will have an average score of 15 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are given a model that relates the number of hours studied to the average score on an exam. We are asked to identify the correct statement about the model. Let's analyze each choice:
(a) The model predicts that students who scored 0 studied for an average of 15 hours. This statement is not mentioned in the given information.
(b) The model predicts that students who didn't study at all will have an average score of 15 points. This statement is consistent with the given information, which states that students who didn't study at all have an average score of 15 points.
(c) The model predicts that the score will increase 15 points for each additional hour of study time. This statement is not mentioned in the given information.
(d) The model predicts that the study time will increase 15 hours for each additional point scored. This statement is not mentioned in the given information.
Therefore, the correct statement is choice (b), which states that the model predicts that students who didn't study at all will have an average score of 15 points.
