Question

the scatterplot shows the time it takes for a new hot plate to boil various amounts of water, and one lab groups attempt at a line of best fit. what feedback should another lab group give during a peer review of the work? the line of best fit is reasonable because it does not go through any points. the line of best fit is not reasonable because it has more points below it than above it. the line of best fit is not reasonable because it does not go through any points. the line of best fit is reasonable because it goes through the largest number of points.

Explanation:

A line of best - fit should balance the points above and below it. In this scatter - plot, the line has more points below it than above it, which means it is not a good representation of the relationship between the amount of water and the boiling time. A line of best - fit does not need to pass through any points, and passing through the largest number of points is not the correct criterion for a good line of best - fit.

Answer:

The line of best fit is not reasonable because it has more points below it than above it.
