The scatterplot shows the relationship between two variables, and . A line of best fit for the data is also shown.
- The scatterplot has 11 data points.
- The data points are in a linear pattern trending down from left to right.
- A line of best fit is shown:
- The line of best fit slants down from left to right.
- 6 points are above the line of best fit.
- 5 points are below the line of best fit.
- The line of best fit goes through the following approximate coordinates:
- (28 comma 6)
- (33 comma 1.5)
At , which of the following is closest to the y-value predicted by the line of best fit?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Choice C is correct. At , the line of best fit has a y-value between and . The only choice with a value between and is choice C.
Choice A is incorrect. This is the difference between the y-value predicted by the line of best fit and the actual y-value at rather than the y-value predicted by the line of best fit at .
Choice B is incorrect. This is the y-value predicted by the line of best fit at rather than at .
Choice D is incorrect. This is the y-value predicted by the line of best fit at rather than at .
