Question

this scatter plot shows the relationship between the age of a refrigerator and the amount of electricity the refrigerator uses each day. based on the line of best fit of the data, which is the best prediction of the amount of electricity used each day by a refrigerator that is 4 years old? a. 1.75 kwh/day b. 2.25 kwh/day c. 2.5 kwh/day d. 3.0 kwh/day

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the x - value of 4 on the scatter - plot

On the x - axis (Age of Refrigerator), find the value 4.

Step2: Find the corresponding y - value on the line of best fit

Move vertically from \(x = 4\) on the x - axis to the line of best fit. Then move horizontally to the y - axis (Electricity Used each Day).

Answer:

B. \(2.25\) kwh/day
