Bella is taking an algebra class that meets 5 days a week. Every Friday, her instructor gives her a test that covers the material from that week. Bella has an organized binder with notes, homework, test corrections, and vocabulary in it. She also keeps a log of how much time she spends each day working on the course outside of class. Table 1 gives a record of how much time she spent and her weekly test grade for the first 5 weeks of the semester.

Time Spent per Day (minutes)	Weekly Grade (percent)
60	72
80	82
40	62
90	87
110	97
