Question

based on the scatter plot below, which is a better prediction for x when y = 60? 85 42

Explanation:

Step1: Locate y - value on scatter - plot

Locate $y = 60$ on the y - axis.

Step2: Observe x - values at y = 60

Look at the x - values of the points near $y = 60$. The points near $y = 60$ have x - values around 40. Among the given options 42 is closer to the x - values of the points near $y = 60$ on the scatter - plot.

Answer:

42
