Question

The data points on the scatter plot below show the amount of natural snow received and the amount of artificial snow made by a ski resort for each of 25 weeks. Draw the line of best fit for these data points. (It doesn't have to be the exact line of best fit. Just draw your best approximation.)

Answer 1

We need to draw the line of best fit for the data points in the scatter plot.

One way of drawing this line is by leaving approximately the same amount of points above and below it:

Notice that the line has to follow the trend of the points: the amount of artificial snow made decreases as the amount of natural snow received increases.
