Question

memberships in the restaurants rewards program. the data and the line of best fit are shown in the scatter plot. the equation of the line of best fit is y = 0.171x + 2.241. could this line of best fit be used to make reasonable predictions? a. yes, because the points in the plot are all very close to the line, which indicates a strong association. b. yes, because the slope of the line is closer to 0 than to 1, which indicates a strong association. c. no, because the points in the plot are all very close to the line, which indicates a weak association. d. no, because the slope of the line is closer to 0 than to 1, which indicates a weak association.

Explanation:

The closer the data - points are to the line of best fit, the stronger the association. In this scatter - plot, the points are very close to the line, indicating a strong association. A strong association allows for reasonable predictions using the line of best fit. The slope value is not the determining factor for the ability to make predictions in terms of whether the line can be used for prediction; it's the closeness of the points to the line.

Answer:

A. Yes, because the points in the plot are all very close to the line, which indicates a strong association
