Question

The sterplot shows the relationship between two variables, $x$ and $y$ . A line of best fit for the data is also shown.

At $x equals 32$ , which of the following is closest to the y-value predicted by the line of best fit?

Accepted Answer

Choice C is correct. At x = 32 , the line of best fit has a y -value between 2 and 3 . The only choice with a value between 2 and 3 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 x = 32 rather than the y -value predicted by the line of best fit at x = 32 . Choice B is incorrect. This is the y -value predicted by the line of best fit at x = 31 rather than at x = 32 . Choice D is incorrect. This is the y -value predicted by the line of best fit at x = 33 rather than at x = 32 .
