If a machine learns the least-squares line that best fits the data shown below, what will the machine pick for the value of y when x = 3? How closely does this match the data point at x = 3 fed into the machine?
(1,4), (2,4), (3,5), (4,5)
When x = 3, the machine will pick a value of for y.
Choose the correct answer below, and, if necessary, fill in the answer box within your choice.
A. This is away from the y-value fed into the machine for x = 3, which is reasonably close considering the range of y-values in the data set.
B. This is away from the y-value fed into the machine for x = 3, which is too large to be expected for the best fit line.
C. This is exactly the same as the data point fed into the machine.
