a catering company kept a record of the number of cups of orange juice served in a relation to the number of guests for various breakfast catering events. The data are shown in the scatter point.
Based on the scatterplot, which of these is the best prediction for the number of cups of orange juice served at a catering event with 25 guests?
a 18 cups
b 27 cups
c 23 cups
d 20 cups
Based on the scatterplot, the best prediction for the number of cups of orange juice served at a catering event with 25 guests would be option b: 27 cups. This is because the general trend in the scatterplot shows that as the number of guests increases, the number of cups of orange juice served also increases. Since 27 cups is the closest value to where the trend line would intersect the y-axis at 25 guests, it would be the best prediction.
