Determine whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false).

Using sample data on footprint lengths and heights from men, the equation of the best-fit line is obtained, and it is used to find that a man with a footprint length of

4040

inches is predicted to have a height of

164164

inches, or

13 feet comma 8 inches13feet,8inches.

Part 1

Choose the correct answer below.

A.

The statement makes sense since a prediction is being made using a best-fit line.

B.

The statement does not make sense since a prediction is being made regarding a value that is beyond the bounds of the data points.

C.

The statement makes sense as one would expect the correlation between men's footprint size and men's height to be strong, and there would be a very large population to sample from to obtain a large number of data points from which to calculate the best-fit line.

D.

The statement does not make sense because a prediction is being made about a population that is different from the population from which the sample data were drawn.
