19 Number of Colonies 500 400 300 10 20 Number of Bacteria Colonies versus Temperature 30 50 40 Temperature C 60 70 Sixteen samples of bacteria were each incubated for 24 hours The scatterplot above shows the number of colonies present at the end of the incubation period and the temperature of the incubator The line of best fit for the data is also shown For the sample incubated at 40 C the actual number of colonies was about how many more than the number predicted by the line of best fit A 0 B 10 C 20 D 40
