To calculate the 95% prediction interval for y given x = 7, we first use the given regression equation to predict y: ŷ = 5.044(7) + 56.11 = 91.42. Then, we need to calculate the standard error of the prediction. However, without the exact formula or additional data such as the number of observations (n) or the sum of the squared differences of x (Σ(x - x̄)²), we cannot directly calculate the exact prediction interval. The correct prediction interval given in the options, assuming the calculation has been done correctly based on the provided standard error and other necessary but not provided statistics, is $74.54 < y < 108.30$. This interval is based on the standard procedure for calculating prediction intervals in statistics, which involves the predicted value ± the critical value from the t-distribution (for a 95% confidence level) multiplied by the standard error of the estimate, adjusted for the specific value of x. The exact calculation requires more information, but the choice provided is based on typical statistical methods for constructing prediction intervals around a predicted value.
