Problem 1
The scatter plot shows the number of times a player came to bat and the number of hits they had.
The scatter plot includes a point at \((318,80)\). Describe the meaning of this point in this situation.
Problem 2
The scatter plot shows the number of minutes people had to wait for service at a restaurant and the number of staff available at the time.
A line that models the data is given by the equation \(y = \text{-}1.62 x + 18\), where \(y\) represents the minutes of wait time, and \(x\) represents the number of staff available.
- The slope of the line is -1.62. What does this mean in this situation? Is it realistic?
- The \(y\)-intercept is \((0,18)\). What does this mean in this situation? Is it realistic?
