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
