(c) Using the line of best fit, we would predict that a dog sitter with 7 years of experience would charge approximately $\square$

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the Scatter Plot

The scatter plot shows a positive trend, indicating that as the years of experience increase, the amount charged per hour also increases.

Step 2: Determine the Correlation

The scatter plot shows a clear upward trend, indicating a positive correlation between years of experience and the amount charged.

Step 3: Use the Line of Best Fit

Using the line of best fit, we can estimate the amount charged for 7 years of experience. The line intersects around $15 at 7 years of experience.

Final Answer

(a) For these 21 dog sitters, as experience increases, the amount charged tends to increase.

(b) For these 21 dog sitters, there is positive correlation between experience and amount charged.

(c) Using the line of best fit, we would predict that a dog sitter with 7 years of experience would charge approximately $15.
