Question

the scatterplot shows the crime index for various cities compared to their populations. crime index vs. population according to the scatterplot, what would you predict would be the crime index for a city with a population of 220,000? (1 point) 450 465 500 500

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the population value

The population is 220,000. On the x - axis (Population in thousands), 220,000 corresponds to 220 (since the unit is thousands).

Step2: Find the corresponding crime index

Look at the line of best - fit on the scatter - plot. When \(x = 220\) (population in thousands), the \(y\) - value (crime index) on the line of best - fit is 500.

Answer:

500
