Least-squares criterion figures out the line that has the smallest sum of squared errors and is the one that fits the data best. The line that best fits a set of data points, according to the least-squares criterion, is known as the regression line. It is essential for making predictions. The regression equation is y=a+bx where,
a=intercept
b=slope
x=independent variable
y=independent variable

The given equation is weight=0.25+0.61hrs

The value of x is 3. weight=0.25+0.61hrs
=0.25+0.613
=0.25+1.83
2.08

Therefore the b part is correct.
