Question

use everything you know about the data, r = -0.42, your scatterplot, and the regression equation $hat{y}=-0.41x + 120.9$.
major league baseball team sample
for 2018 regular season

total errorswins
7658
8291
8290
8897
93100
10073
12067

do you think the prediction you found in the prior questions is good/useful?
why or why not?
no. the prediction using 110 was extrapolation and r is also weak.
no. even though r is strong, using 110 is extrapolation.
yes. it is a good way to estimate the wins of the team by looking at the total

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The correlation coefficient $r = - 0.42$, which indicates a weak negative correlation. If a prediction was made using a value (such as 110) outside the range of the data for total errors in the sample, it is extrapolation. Extrapolation is risky and with a weak correlation, the prediction is not reliable.

Answer:

No. The prediction using 110 was extrapolation and r is also weak.
