Question

The coaches of a group of debate teams answered a survey about hours of debate, team practice and number of team wins. The graph shows the results of this survey.

Based on these results, if a team practices 4 hours per week next season, which is the best estimate of the number of debates the team can expect to win?

Answer 1

Based on the given graph, it seems that as the number of hours of team practice increases, the number of team wins also increases. Therefore, if a team practices 4 hours per week next season, it is reasonable to estimate that the team can expect to win around 12 debates. Thus, the best estimate of the number of debates the team can expect to win is 12.
