A large section of Stat 101 was asked to fill out a survey on grade point average and SAT scores. A regression was run to find out how well Math and Verbal SAT scores could predict academic performance as measured by GPA. The regression was run on a computer package with the following output:

a) What is the regression equation?
b) From this model, what is the predicted GPA of a student with an SAT Verbal score of 500 and an SAT Math score of 550?
c) What else would you want to know about this regression before writing a report about the relationship between SAT scores and grade point averages? Why would these be important to know?
