Looking at the values in the output column, they range from 0.1 to 2.7. Choosing a y scale of 0.1 would allow for all the points to fit on the graph without compressing the data too much or leaving too much empty space. Choosing a y scale of 1 would make the differences between the points less noticeable, while choosing a y scale of 0.001 or 100 would be too extreme for the range of values in the table.
