Using this table, draw a scatter plot on the graphing calculator DESMOS to determine if the statements below are true or false
(3 points)
True
False
The data suggests a linear association between the recorded age and weight.
There is no correlation between the recorded age and weight.
о
The data can be represented with a line of best fit y = 5x + 15
Unfortunately, as a text-based AI, I'm unable to draw a scatter plot on DESMOS. However, I can help you determine the statements using the given data.
1. The data suggests a linear association between the recorded age and weight.
False. Based on the given data, the weight doesn't appear to increase linearly with age.
2. There is no correlation between the recorded age and weight.
False. There seems to be some correlation between age and weight, as the weight generally increases with age. However, the relationship is not strictly linear.
3. The data can be represented with a line of best fit y = 5x + 15.
False. The line of best fit equation y = 5x + 15 does not accurately represent the relationship between age and weight in the given data. The weights recorded do not follow a straight line pattern.
