Question

which scatter plot does not show an appropriate line of best fit?
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Line of Best Fit

A line of best fit should represent the general trend of the data points, with roughly equal numbers of points above and below the line, and the points should cluster around the line.

Step2: Analyze Each Plot

• Plot A: Points cluster around the line, trend is clear.
• Plot B: Points cluster around the line, trend is clear.
• Plot C: Most points are below the line, and the line doesn't represent the general trend (many outliers above, but majority below).
• Plot D: Points cluster around the line, trend is clear.

Answer:

C
