with what?

@Photon336

OpenStudy (photon336):

Yeah this is comparing temperature to the number of cups sold.

OpenStudy (photon336):

So for part A right where do you see the most points on the graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait so for part a was i right ?

OpenStudy (photon336):

Well as the temperature goes up you can see the number of cups goes down, but there are multiple points here but it's not exactly linear. You could draw a line of best fit for the data @whpalmer4 thoughts?

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Yes! Hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HELP??????????

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Got it! :)

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Um.. which part do you need help on?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Qwertty123 u there?

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Sorry, I am being distracted!

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Okay so do you know what the line of best fit is?

OpenStudy (retireed):

Unfortunately Part A is incorrect. Please refer to Proton336 answer Photon336 Well as the temperature goes up you can see the number of cups goes down, but there are multiple points here but it's not exactly linear. You could draw a line of best fit for the data @whpalmer4 thoughts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Qwertty123 The line of best fit is the line that goes thru multiple points in the direction the points seem to be going

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Qwertty123

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

yes you are right! Okay know describe the line of best fit for that graph!

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Here is a graph of the data (points in red) with a least-squares fit line showing the overall trend.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

A least-squares fit is a line that attempts to minimize the sum of the squares of the distance from each point to the line of best fit. The equation found from the data here is \[y = 20.9444 - 0.122222x\] When doing this sort of analysis by hand, one tactic for seeing the general trend is to try to draw a line from left to right which has as many data points above it as below it.
