To determine if Levar's claim about the proportionality between the number of movies streamed and the amount of data used is valid, the most effective methods would be:
-
Levar could create a table listing the number of movies he streamed each month and the amount of data he used for those months to prove that equivalent ratios exist. - This method allows Levar to visually compare the ratios of movies to data for each month.
-
Levar could plot data points based on the number of movies he streamed each month and the amount of data he used for those months to create a straight line on the graph that passes through the origin. - If the data points form a straight line that passes through the origin when plotted, this would suggest a proportional relationship.
-
Levar could create equations based on the data collected to prove that as the number of movies he streamed increased, the amount of data he used also increased. - Creating equations would allow Levar to analyze the relationship mathematically, showing that increases in one variable correspond with increases in the other.
The method about dividing the amount of data used in December by the number of movies streamed in December would not prove the overall claim, as it only considers a single data point rather than the entire set of data.
Thus, the two best methods that would help Levar prove his claim are:
- Creating a table to show equivalent ratios.
- Plotting data points to check for a straight line through the origin.
The option that is closest to proving his claim would be Levar could plot data points based on the number of movies he streamed each month and the amount of data he used for those months to create a straight line on the graph that passes through the origin.
