The owner of a restaurant gathered data for several weeks about the number of first-time customers at the restaurant and the number of new memberships in the restaurant’s rewards program. The data and the line of best fit are shown in the scatter plot. The equation of the line of best fit is y = 0.171x + 2.241. Could this line of best fit be used to make reasonable predictions?
A. Yes, because the points in the plot are all very close to the line, which indicates a strong association.
B. Yes, because the slope of the line is closer to 0 than to 1, which indicates a strong association.
C. No, because the points in the plot are all very close to the line, which indicates a weak association.
D. No, because the slope of the line is closer to 0 than to 1, which indicates a weak association.
