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. boiling water test 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 does not need to pass through any of the data - points. Its purpose is to minimize the overall distance between the line and all the points. Having more points below or above the line does not necessarily mean it is a bad fit. The line in the scatter - plot seems to represent the general trend of the data well.

Answer:

The line of best fit is reasonable because it does not go through any points.
