Aprende Challenge: Predict Student Scores Based on Study Hours | Probability, Statistics, and Simulation

Predicting student performance based on study habits is a practical application of regression analysis in education. By examining the relationship between the number of hours a student studies and their exam scores, you can model how changes in study time might affect outcomes. Linear regression is a statistical technique that fits a straight line to data points, allowing you to make predictions about one variable based on another. In this context, you will use Python's scikit-learn library to build a simple linear regression model, visualize the results using matplotlib, and predict the exam score for a student who studies a specific number of hours.

Write a function that performs linear regression on two lists, hours and scores, and predicts the exam score for a given number of study hours.

Fit a linear regression model using hours as the independent variable and scores as the dependent variable.
Plot the original data points and the regression line using matplotlib.
Predict the exam score for the value in predict_hours and print the predicted value.
