Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Locate y - value on scatter - plot

Locate y = 85 on the y - axis.

Step2: Estimate corresponding x - value

Look horizontally across from y = 85 to the cluster of points and estimate the x - value. The points around y = 85 seem to correspond to an x - value closer to 26.

Answer:

26
