Aline of best fit was drawn for 8 data points. what is the maximum number of these data points that may not actually be on the line?

a. 8
b.6
c.5
d.7

8 data points.

Step-by-step explanation:

A line of best fit never has to go through any value. It is an estimate of where the trend lies.

Therefore, no value has to go on the line, and the maximum number of data points that don't have to be on the line is all 8 data points.

The image below shows an example. The line goes through the middle of the values, but doesn't touch any, because it merely represents the general trend between two variables.
