Look back at your data and your regression equation. (Sample data is shown to the right, with x = pressure and y = volume.) Check all statements that are true.
Answer
A
As the pressure of the gas increased, the volume of the gas decreased.
B
For all pairs of data of pressure and volume, P • V was appoximately the same.
C
For all pairs of data of pressure and volume, P • V k for the same value k.
D
The regression equation was of the form V = kP–1 (which is the same as V = k/P).
