A researcher for a tire company has collected data about the stopping distance in feet for different tire designs. The data range from 59 to 74 with an average of 65. Would it be better to have the origin at 0 on the axis, or at some other value? Explain.(1 point)
Responses
Yes, because 0 should always be included on the axis for a data set.

Yes, because all of the data values are less than 100, so 0 should be included.

No, it would not be better to have the origin at 0 on the axis in this case. Since the data range from 59 to 74 with an average of 65, having the origin at 0 may not provide a meaningful representation of the data. It would be more appropriate to set the axis range to cover the actual data values to provide a clearer visualization of the differences between the stopping distances.
