PREDICTION
PREDICTION

Based upon the Data Collection, which data set can you accurately predict the number of paper clips that can be collected with 40 coils? (Give me a YES or NO answer and at least one reason why.) (2 points)

YES. Based on the data collected, there is a clear positive correlation between the number of wire coils and the number of paper clips collected for both C and D batteries. As the number of wire coils increase, the number of paper clips collected also increases. Therefore, it is reasonable to predict that with 40 wire coils, the number of paper clips collected will be 9 or more.
