Scores xx on test A have mean 5050 and standard deviation 1010; scores yy on test B have mean 5050 and standard deviation 1010; the correlation is r=0.6r = 0.6. A student scores 7070 on test A. Her test B score is predicted with the least-squares line of yy on xx. That predicted B score is then plugged into the least-squares line of xx on yy. What value of xx comes out? Give a decimal.
