Explanation / Answer

Given that,

Letter score = 8

SAT = 1300

As per above given summary,

GPA= 0.00161594*SAT + 0.12428939*Letters -0.304349

GPA= 0.00161594*1300+ 0.12428939*8-0.304349

GPA1300  =2.790688

If SAT decrease by 150 points from 1300 points then updated SAT = 1150

thus GPA= 0.00161594*1150+ 0.12428939*8-0.304349

GPA1150  =2.548297

Hence, the student's predicted college GPA change =  GPA1150 - GPA1300  

= 2.548297 - 2.790688

= -0.242391
