4. a company employee had to read several financial reports. the scatter - plot shows the lengths and reading times for those reports. report reading times which prediction of the time in minutes to read a 90 - page report is best supported by the data? a 95 min b 105 min c 125 min d 155 min

Answer

# Explanation: ## Step1: Observe the trend in scatter - plot The data points seem to follow a positive linear trend. As the number of pages increases, the reading time increases. ## Step2: Estimate the line of best - fit visually Draw an approximate line that passes through the middle of the data points. ## Step3: Locate 90 on the x - axis Find the value of 90 on the x - axis (number of pages). ## Step4: Read the corresponding y - value Follow the vertical line from x = 90 up to the estimated line of best - fit and then read the corresponding value on the y - axis (reading time). The value is around 105 minutes. # Answer: B. 105 min
