Answer:
Explanation:
Yes, based on the provided information, if the relationship between test scores and the student-teacher ratio can be modeled as a linear function with an intercept of 698.9 and a slope of -2.28, then a decrease in the student-teacher ratio by 1 will decrease test scores by 2.28 points. This suggests that as the student-teacher ratio decreases (indicating fewer students per teacher), test scores are expected to decrease by 2.28 points for each unit decrease in the ratio. It reflects a negative correlation between these variables.
