Question
Consider the data given in the table.
x | 0 | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 | 24 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
y | 158 | 156 | 152 | 145 | 133 | 120 | 107 |
(a) Make a scatter plot .
A. A graph has a horizontal axis with values from 0 to 30 and a vertical axis with values from 0 to 200. The scatter plot has 7 points. A pattern goes down and right from (0, 165) to (24, 113).
B. A graph has a horizontal axis with values from 0 to 30 and a vertical axis with values from 0 to 200. The scatter plot has 7 points. A pattern goes up and right becoming less steep from (0, 107) to (24, 158).
C. A graph has a horizontal axis with values from 0 to 30 and a vertical axis with values from 0 to 200. The scatter plot has 7 points. A pattern goes up and right from (0, 113) to (24, 165).
D. A graph has a horizontal axis with values from 0 to 30 and a vertical axis with values from 0 to 200. The scatter plot has 7 points. A pattern goes down and right becoming more steep from (0, 158) to (24, 107).
(b) Fit a linear function to the data. (Round your coefficients to three decimal places.)
y =
(c) Try other function types and find one that fits better than a linear function.
Which function provides the best fit?
A. quadratic function
B. power function
C. cubic function
Find the equation that is the best fit for the data. (Round your coefficients to three decimal places.)
y =
