Terrence created a scatter plot to represent the total number of goals scored by each player on his soccer team in a season and the number of hours the player spent at soccer practice.
The scatter plot has 10 data points. The x-values of the data points extend from 10 to 90, and the y-values of the data points extend from 0 to 35.
Which graph shows the line of best fit for the data in Terrence's scatter plot?
Without the actual scatter plot provided, it is difficult to determine the exact line of best fit for the data. However, in general, the line of best fit for a scatter plot is a straight line that minimizes the sum of the squares of the vertical distances between the data points and the line.
Typically, the line of best fit will pass through the center of the data points in such a way that it represents the overall trend or relationship between the two variables being plotted. It is often used to make predictions or interpolate data that falls within the range of the data points.
To determine the line of best fit for Terrence's scatter plot, a regression analysis or statistical software would need to be used to calculate the equation of the line that best represents the data points.
