3 marksIn a survey, the outside temperature and the number of units of electricity used for heating were recorded for ten homes.
The scatter diagram shows this information.
Molly says,
"On average the number of units of electricity used for heating decreases by 4 units for each °C increase in outside temperature."
Is Molly right?
Show how you get your answer.
1 markYou should not use a line of best fit to predict the number of units of electricity used for heating when the outside temperature is 30 °C.
