Question

determine whether the following statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. i used two different functions to model the data in a scatter plot. choose the correct answer below. a. the statement does not make sense because functions cannot be used to model data in a scatter plot. b. the statement does not make sense because only one function can be used to model data in a scatter plot. c. the statement makes sense because two functions can be used to model the same data, but one function probably fits the data better than the other. d. the statement makes sense because functions are often used to model the same data, with each function fitting the data equally well and giving similar predicted values.

Explanation:

In data - modeling, multiple functions can be used to fit scatter - plot data. Different functions may have different goodness - of - fit. One function might fit the data better than the other.

Answer:

C. The statement makes sense because two functions can be used to model the same data, but one function probably fits the data better than the other.
