Math Problem Statement

Use a trend line to make a prediction for y when x = 6, based on the provided scatter plot.

Solution

From the image, the question asks to use a trend line to predict the value of yy when x=6x = 6, based on the scatter plot data.

Steps:

  1. Draw a Trend Line:

    • Observing the scatter plot, visually approximate a line that best fits the points. It should pass through the center of the data distribution, balancing the number of points above and below.
  2. Estimate yy for x=6x = 6:

    • Locate x=6x = 6 on the graph and determine where it intersects the trend line.
    • From that point, estimate the corresponding yy-value.
