Using data from 20 compact cars, a consumer group develops a model that predicts the stopping time for a vehicle by using its weight. You consider using this model to predict the stopping time for your large
SUV. Explain why this is not advisable
Choose the correct answer below.
A.
This is not advisable because the consumer group hasn't released the conditions under which they tested the stopping times. If the testing conditions aren't made public and verified by another third party,
then the model's predictions are not reliable measures of the SUV's stopping time
B. This is not advisable because the consumer group doesn't have access to the best technologies to identify stopping times for compact cars. If the stopping times for compact cars cannot be
accurately measured, then the model's predictions are not accurate
C. This is not advisable because the model predicts the stopping time for compact cars. The SUV is not a compact car, so the model's predictions are not reliable measures of the SUV's stopping time.
D. This is not advisable because the model has an insufficient number of observations. Using the model to make predictions without gathering additional observations for construction of the model is
dangerous.
