To accurately analyze the scatterplot and the trend line, it's important to interpret the data trends visually. Since I cannot see the image of the scatterplot you're referring to, I'll guide you on how to determine the correct statement based on the trend observed in the scatterplot:
- **If the points on the scatterplot show a downward trend (i.e., the water level decreases as the days increase)**:
You would choose **"As the number of days increased, the water level usually decreased."**
- **If the points show an upward trend (i.e., the water level increases as the days increase)**:
You would choose **"As the number of days increased, the water level usually increased."**
- **If the scatterplot shows consistent decreases without any exceptions**:
You would select **"As the number of days increased, the water level always decreased."**
- **If the scatterplot shows consistent increases without any exceptions**:
You would choose **"As the number of days increased, the water level always increased."**
Based on these guidelines, evaluate the scatterplot you're examining to make your selection based on the trend it shows.
