How useful would the line of best fit be for this scatter plot to make prediction given the association?

• Not useful at all, since the data is not linearly correlated enough to apply a line of best fit.

• Not useful at all, since their are outliers to the data set

• Possibly useful, as there is a linear pattern but the association is not very strong and has outliers

• Very useful, as there is a linear pattern and the association is very strong but has outliers

• Predictions will be accurate, as there is a linear pattern and the negative association is very strong

The scatter plot below shows the number of books read by students in Mrs. Hall’s English class and their final grades. Which statement represents the best description about the line of best fit? Choose ALL correct answers

• Negative Linear Association:

  The more books students read, the lower their English grade.

• Positive Linear Association:

  The more books students read, the higher their English grade.

• The y-intercept represents a students grade of 0% if they have read 0 books 

• No Association:

  No relationship exists between the number of books students read and their English grades. 

• The slope of the line is the grade increase % divided by the amount of books read
