Question

The data of height and weight of small monkeys is plotted in scatterplot. the scatterplot shows the average height and weight of $12$ species of small monkeys . What is the height, in inches, of the monkey represented by the data point that is farthest from the line of best fit(not shown)?

Answer 1

$\Rightarrow$ When working with scatterplots, a line of best fit should be drawn so that about half the data points are above the line and half are below the line.

$\Rightarrow$ In above graph we can see, furthest point shown by arrow.

$\Rightarrow$ The data point that is furthest from the line is located at $(32,14).$ Height is plotted on the y-axis, so this data point represents a monkey that is $14$ inches tall.
