The scatter plot to make reasonable prediction is scatter plot (a)
How to determine the best scatter plot to make reasonable prediction?
Before determining the best scatter plot that makes the most reasonable prediction, we need to highlight the following properties:
- The curve or line on the scatter plot must pass as many points as possible
- The number of points above and below the curve or line on the scatter plot must be equal or about equal
Using the properties stated above, we have the following highlights:
- Scatter plot 1 passes through 1 point and 4 points are on either sides of the plot
- Scatter plot 2 passes through 5 points, 3 points are on one sides and 1 point on the other side
- Scatter plot 3 passes through 3 points, 5 points are on one sides and 0 point on the other side
- Scatter plot 4 passes through 0 points, all points are on one sides and 1 point on the other side
Scatter plots 3 and 4 cannot be considered because they do not obey the aforementioned properties
Scatter plot 2 do not have about equal points on each sides
Hence, the scatter plot to make reasonable prediction is scatter plot (a)
