Based on the trend observed in the scatter plot, where countries with a higher average elevation tend to have a lower average temperature, a country with an average elevation of 700 meters is likely to have an average temperature around 12 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the most appropriate estimate for the average temperature of this country is 12 degrees Celsius.
This scatter plot shows the average elevation and the average temperature for some countries. Each point on the scatter plot represents the average elevation and average temperature for one country.
