a. Answer Parabola represents better the data. Explanation Given information: The table shows the heights h (in feet) of a sponge t seconds after it was dropped by a window cleaner on top of a skyscraper. Calculation: From the given table data graph is given below. S0,from the graph parabola represents better the data. b. To determine Use the regression feature of your calculator to find the model that best fits the data. Answer We use the regression feature of the calculator to determine the model that better fits the data. Explanation Given information: The table shows the heights h (in feet) of a sponge t seconds after it was dropped by a window cleaner on top of a skyscraper. Calculation From the given table data graph is given below S0, We use the regression feature of the calculator to determine the model that better fits the data. c. To determine Use the model in part (b) to predict when the sponge will hit the ground. Answer The sponge hit the ground when y = 0 . Explanation Given information: The table shows the heights h (in feet) of a sponge t seconds after it was dropped by a window cleaner on top of a skyscraper. Calculation: From the given table data graph is given below. y = − 16 x 2 + 3.7272 + 10 − 15 x + 280 . y ≈ − 16 x 2 + 280 . The sponge hit the ground when y = 0 .Solve the equation. 16 x 2 + 280 = 0 . 16 x 2 = 280 . x 2 = 280 / 16 = 17.5. x = ± 17.5 ≈ 4.18 . d. To determine Identify and interpret the domain and range in this situation. Answer Domain of the function [ 0 , 4.18 ] . Range of the function is [ 0 , 280 ] .

Correlation

Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.

Linear Correlation

A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.

Regression Analysis

Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as p…
