The following is a scatterplot of the percent of children under age 18 who are not in school or in the labor force versus the number of juvenile violent crime arrests for each of the 50 states. The least-squares regression line has been drawn in on the plot.

B. close to 390: C. impossible to calculate since the point isn?t on the line. D. close to 185.
