Question

a bookstore tracked the data of the weight of their deliveries and the number of books in each box. they created a scatterplot and trend line based on the data. which statement would be a reasonable prediction based on the scatterplot and trend line? a box with 10 books should weigh about 2 pounds. a box with 10 books should weigh about 4 pounds. a box with 10 books should weigh about 6 pounds. a box with 10 books should weigh about 12 pounds.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the trend line

The trend line shows a positive correlation between the number of books and the weight.

Step2: Locate \(x = 10\) on the trend line

On the scatter - plot, when \(x = 10\) (number of books), we look at the \(y\) - value (weight) on the trend line.

Answer:

A box with 10 books should weigh about 6 pounds.
