Six months ago, Guillermo purchased a coffee truck as a business. To determine how his coffee
truck is doing, he plotted the net profits over each of the past six months on the scatter plot below.
Guillermo's business partner told him that the data Guillermo plotted is misleading. What is the
BEST reason why the data is misleading?
The data is misleading because the scatter plot starts at $532, so a small increase in profits looks very large.
The data is misleading because Guillermo should expect to make more profits than $500-$600 per month.
The data is misleading because the profits of a new company should not show a decrease between months 2
and 3
The data is misleading because the scatter plot only shows the first six months of profits, and it does not show
projected profits over the next six months.
