Line Best Fit 764Eb2

1. **Stating the problem:** We are asked to draw a line of best fit on a scatter diagram, use it to estimate the height of a plant given 65 ml of water, and find the percentage of 17 plants with height more than 24 cm. 2. **Line of best fit:** The line of best fit is a straight line that best represents the data points on a scatter plot. It can be found using methods like least squares regression. 3. **Estimating height for 65 ml water:** If the equation of the line of best fit is $$y = mx + c$$ where $x$ is the water amount (ml) and $y$ is the height (cm), substitute $x=65$ to find $y$. 4. **Calculating percentage of plants taller than 24 cm:** Count the number of plants with height $>24$ cm, say this count is $n$. Calculate percentage as $$\frac{n}{17} \times 100$$. Round the result to 1 decimal place. **Note:** Since the scatter diagram and line equation are not provided, the exact numerical answers cannot be computed here. If you provide the line equation or data points, I can help calculate the estimate and percentage.
