Question

Which line is the best model for the data in the scatter plot?

Answer 1

The answer would be the second choice with the line going through point (2,3) and point (10,7)

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

The line that is the best model for the data in the scatter plot must pass through as mane points as it is possible and the rest points have to be in equal amounts under the line and over the line.

Model A: Line passes through 2 points, 7 points are over the line and 3 points are under the line.

Model B: Line passes through 2 points, 5 points are over the line and 5 points are under the line.

Model C: Line passes through 2 points, 6 points are over the line and 4 points are under the line.

Model D: Line passes through 2 points, 3 points are over the line and 7 points are under the line.

Only model B matches the conditions.
