Bivariate Data, SM-Bank 004

The shoe size and height of ten students were recorded.

\begin{array} {|l|c|c|}
\hline \rule{0pt}{2.5ex} \text{Shoe size} \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt} & \text{6} & \text{7} & \text{7} & \text{8} & \text{8.5} & \text{9.5} & \text{10} & \text{11} & \text{12} & \text{12} \\
\hline \rule{0pt}{2.5ex} \text{Height} \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt} & \text{155} & \text{150} & \text{165} & \text{175} & \text{170} & \text{170} & \text{190} & \text{185} & \text{200} & \text{195} \\
\hline
\end{array}

  1. Complete the scatter plot AND draw a line of best fit by eye.  (2 marks)
     
     
  2. Use the line of best fit to estimate the height difference between a student who wears a size 7.5 shoe and one who wears a size 9 shoe.  (1 mark)

ii.    `text{Shoe size 7.5 gives a height estimate of 162 cm (see graph)}`

`text{Shoe size 9 gives a height estimate of 175 cm (see graph)}`

`:.\ text(Height difference)` `= 175-162`
  `= 13\ text{cm  (or close given LOBF drawn)}`
