Question

The graph shows the best-fit regression model for a set of data comparing the number of hours spent hiking and the number of miles traveled in one day.
Which is most likely true of the data set represented by the regression model on the graph?
a) Each point in the data set falls on the regression line.
b)The regression model is an accurate representation of the distance for any number of hours hiked.
c)Each point in the data set is near the regression line.
d)The regression model is inaccurate, as it does not begin at (0, 0). \

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

c) Each point in the data set is near the regression line. 

Explanation:

A best fit regression line is the line that most closely approximates the data.  This means that the line must be near most of, if not all, of the points of the data set.  

If this truly is the line of best fit, the points of the data will be near the line.
