Question

18 points!!!

Naomi recorded the total weight of different numbers of apples. Her results are shown by using the scatterplot and the trend line shown below.

For which number of apples is the prediction of the total weight an extrapolation?
6
12
15
18

Answer 1

18.

This is because we do not have values that go up that high. So we are extrapolating that data with the best information that we have

Answer 2

Number of apples is the prediction of the total weight an extrapolation is:

18

Explanation:

Extrapolation--

The extrapolation of a data point is an estimation of the value of the point based on the data that is provided to us.

In short it is a process of the estimation of the data which are beyond the original observation of the data that is provided to us.

Hence, here the extrapolated data is:

18

( Since 18 is beyond the range as the curve goes out of the area )
