"A real estate agent must often determine the price of a house that is to be sold. One of the factors that helps determine the cost of the house is its size, or the number of square feet of living space in the house. The table gives the number of square feet (in hundreds) and the cost (in thousands of dollars) of houses that sold recently in a town"

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a scale that has increments that are somewhat large, you could get an error if you reach half of the measuring unit. This is because when you arrive at a measurement greater than half of the measuring unit, you would have to round it up. Therefore, the greatest possible error when measuring to the nearest quarter of an inch is 1/8 inch.
