3 marksIn a survey, the outside temperature and the number of units of electricity used for heating were recorded for ten homes.
The scatter diagram shows this information.
Molly says,
Is Molly right?
Show how you get your answer.
1 markYou should not use a line of best fit to predict the number of units of electricity used for heating when the outside temperature is 30 °C.

2 marksA travel agent records the duration and cost of the 15 flights he sold on one day.
The data for the first 13 flights are plotted on the scatter diagram.
The data for the final two flights is:
| Duration | 210 minutes | 1 hour 40 minutes |
| Cost | £130 | £80 |
Plot these flights on the scatter diagram.
1 markThe cost of one of the 15 flights had been discounted in a sale.
Circle the most likely flight on the scatter diagram.
1 mark1 markExplain why the travel agent should not use his records to estimate the cost of a 7 hour flight.
