Question

The scatterplot shows the time it takes for a new hot plate to boil various amounts of water, and one lab group’s attempt at a line of best fit. What feedback should another lab group give during a peer review of the work? The line of best fit is reasonable because it does not go through any points. The line of best fit is reasonable because it goes through the largest cluster of points. The line of best fit is not reasonable because it does not go through any points. The line of best fit is not reasonable because it has more points below it than above it.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is;

The line of best fit is not reasonable because it has more points below it than above it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we note that there are a total of seven points in the scatter plot and there are five of the points below the line of best fit and just two above the line.

Of the five points below the line of best fit, four are just about touching the underside of the line while one of the two points above the line is just about touching the line.

The proper positioning of the line can be reviewed, therefore, with a line drawn through the four points presently touching the underside of the line of best fit.
