Question

distance (miles) which of the following is the best estimate for how long it would take lamar to ride 15 miles? 20 minutes 30 minutes 40 minutes 50 minutes

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the scatter plot trend

The scatter plot shows a positive correlation between distance (x - axis) and time (y - axis). As distance increases, time also increases. We need to estimate the time for 15 miles.

Step2: Interpolate from existing points

Looking at the points, for distances around 10 - 15 miles, the time points are around 30 - 35 minutes (from the cluster of points). Among the options, 30 minutes is the closest estimate for 15 miles when considering the trend of the scatter plot (the points for distance 10 - 12 have times around 30 - 35, so 15 miles should be around 30 - 40, and 30 is a better estimate than 20, 40 or 50).

Answer:

30 minutes
