It seems pretty poor to me. I would think the correct answer should be something like: "The expected height on in centimeters for any person with a first metacarpal bone length between 4 and 5 centimeters." That may not be perfectly technical wording, but I think it's the general message the line conveys.
Edit: Whoops, misread the question. I see it's asking about what the slope of the line means and not just what the line represents in general.
- danielweber 12y agoIt's a very twisted way of asking "do you know that slope is defined as 'rise over run'?"
- freditup 12y agoMy bad - made a mistake reading the question (see my edit above). But still, completely agree that the answers are worded very strangely. I think going for "real" math is a fine idea, but if the questions are designed as poorly as this one, it's going to become as much about reading comprehension as math.
