here is a scatter plot that compares hits to at bats for players on a baseball team.
a. how many hits did the player with 475 at bats have?
b. based on the line of best fit, how many hits would you have predicted the player with 475 at bats have?

Explanation:

Part A

Step1: Locate 475 At Bats

Find the x - value (At Bats) of 475 on the scatter plot's x - axis.

Step2: Find corresponding Hits

Look at the data point (dot) with x - value 475. From the scatter plot, the y - value (Hits) for this point is 130 (approximate, by reading the y - axis for the dot at x = 475).

Step1: Identify the line of best fit

The green line is the line of best fit.

Step2: Find the y - value at x = 475

Find the point on the line of best fit where x (At Bats) is 475. By looking at the line, when x = 475, the y - value (Hits) on the line is 125 (approximate, by following the line to x = 475 and reading the y - axis).

Answer:

130 (approximate, depending on the exact plot reading)
