Question

A line of best fit is drawn on a scatter plot. What does this line represent?
*
1 point
A trend or pattern in the data
The exact values of all data points
A way to connect every data point
A line that always passes through (0,0)

Answer 1

The line of best fit represents **a trend or pattern in the data**. It is used to summarize the relationship between the variables in the scatter plot, indicating the overall direction and strength of the correlation, rather than connecting every data point or representing exact values.
