Question 7 • Algebra II

Which is a correct step when using the median-fit method for modeling data?

Answer
A
Determine the median of the x -values and the median of the y -values.
B
Calculate slope using the right and middle points.
C
Use the median value of y -intercepts found.
D
Determine three y -intercepts by using each summary point along with the slope.

Explanation

In the median-fit method, first order the data by x-values and divide it into three groups. Find the median x-value and median y-value in each group to make three summary points; these points are then used to estimate a line of fit. Choice A describes finding medians, while the method does not use the median of several y-intercepts as in choice C.
