$y=1.0238x-0.6548$

See the explanation

If you rank in order of sleep time there is a loose association that appears to follow a straight line (with a degree of variation)

Letting Excel derive it for me we have:

$y=1.0238x-0.6548$

Where $y$ is hours of sleep and $x$ is the score.

There is a way to actually calculate this using calculus and I covered it at university but do not wish to go that deep.
