question 2 of 10
the data below show the distance that a circus net stretches when different masses are placed on it.
based on the graph, which data point is most likely to have experimental error?
a. 62 kg
b. 72 kg
c. 48 kg
d. 58 kg

Explanation:

Step1: Identify experimental - error concept

Experimental error is indicated by data points that deviate from the general trend.

Step2: Analyze the graph

The linear - fit line represents the general trend. The data point that is farthest from the line is likely to have experimental error.

Step3: Check each option

By observing the graph, the point corresponding to 58 kg is farthest from the linear - fit line.

Answer:

D. 58 kg
