A. It is a good fit because there are the same number of points above the line as below it.
B. It is a good fit because all of the points are on or below the line.
C. It is not a good fit because there are no points on the line.
D. It is not a good fit because only one point is on the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. It is not a good fit because there are no points on the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a line to be a good fit for a data set represented as a scatterplot, the line must follow the general trend of the data in the scatterplot. This line does not follow the general trend of the data on the scatterplot, thus option (C) is the best statement to describe the situation.

C. It is not a good fit because there are no points on the line.
