Final Answer: The predicted grade for a student who spent 30 hours on their homework is 78.

Steps

Step 1 :Given the equation of the regression line is y^=49.355+0.962x, where x is the hours spent on homework and y^ is the predicted grade on the test.

Step 2 :Substitute x=30 into the equation to find the predicted grade: y^=49.355+0.962×30.

Step 3 :Calculate the value to get the predicted grade.

Step 4 :Round the predicted grade to the nearest whole number.

Step 5 :Final Answer: The predicted grade for a student who spent 30 hours on their homework is 78.
