A car company wants to predict how much fuel different cars will use based on their masses. They took a sample of cars, drove ea
ch car 100\,\text{km}100km100, start text, k, m, end text, and measured how much fuel was used in each case (in liters). The data is summarized in the table below.
Fuel used (L) 3.6, 6.7, 9.8, 11.2, 14.7
Mass (metric tons) 0.45, 0.91, 1.36, 1.81, 2.27
All of the scatter plots below display the data correctly, but which one of them displays the data best?
By convention, a good scatter plot uses a reasonable scale on both axes and puts the explanatory variable on the x-axis.
