We are given the scatter plot which shows the distance he has run and the time it took for each run.
We are asked to determine a good prediction of how long it will take Tom to run the 6 mile race?
One way to predict the time is by drawing a line that best fits the given data.
As you can see, from the line of best fit, the time corresponding to the 6 miles is around 60 minutes.
Therefore, 60 minutes is a good prediction of how long it will take Tom to run the 6 mile race.
