Question

Marco thinks the total number of runs a team scores in a season is a better indicator of how many wins it will have in that season than the number of home runs it gets. Do you agree with Marco? Explain.

Answer 1

ok so i know im late but id anyone wants the sample answer its here lolll

Yes, the total runs is a better indicator of wins because it has a stronger linear association. Total runs has a stronger linear association because the data points sit closer to the trend line than the data points on the home runs scatterplot.

Explanation:

Answer 2

This is a fair assumption, but not true in every instance. Since home runs do not indicate how many runs score, which are the decider in a win or a loss, they are less accurate at predicting.
