Question

the scatter plots from two different sets of data are graphed below. explain whether each one is a good model for the data or a bad one. explain why.

Explanation:

A good model for data has points closely following a pattern. In Graph A, the points are scattered randomly with no clear linear or other pattern, so it's a bad model. In Graph B, the points seem to follow a somewhat linear - like trend, indicating a better fit and thus it is a good model for the data.

Answer:

Graph A is a bad model for the data because the points are randomly scattered. Graph B is a good model for the data as the points seem to follow a trend.
