Lesson 5
Describing Trends in Scatter Plots
Problem 1
- Draw a line that you think is a good fit for this data. For this data, the inputs are the horizontal values, and the outputs are the vertical values.
- Use your line of fit to estimate what you would expect the output value to be when the input is 10.

Problem 2
Here is a scatter plot that shows the most popular videos in a 10-year span.
![A scatterplot, x, date, January 1 2007 to January 1 2019 by 2 years, y, views, billions. Points range from y = point 8, to 2 point 8 with no discernable pattern.](https://cms-im.s3.amazonaws.com/LXc6bB2SEFoErNzTa8Qne17T?response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3D%228-8.6.B7.PP.videoviews.png%22%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%278-8.6.B7.PP.videoviews.png&response-content-type=image%2Fpng&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAXQCCIHWF3XOEFOW4%2F20240630%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240630T171842Z&X-Amz-Expires=604800&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=01f713e19467aa5868a979c597dbb29115c075f90213e6dff7f544fd7df3535b)
- Use the scatter plot to estimate the number of views for the most popular video in this 10-year span.
- Estimate when the 4th most popular video was released.
