Quadratic Regression Models

Question 9 • 25-26 CRX Math Models with Applications 7052A

Fill in the blank by choosing the most appropriate word.Regression equations are usually used to predict values of unavailable data. If the data do not closely model a particular type of function, then that type of function is not appropriate to use in statistical regression. The more closely data fit a model, the more _______________ predicted values will be.

Answer
A
accurate
B
quadratic
C
scattered
D
variable

Explanation

When the data closely fit a regression model, the model represents the observed pattern well. Predictions based on that model are therefore more likely to be accurate. “Quadratic,” “scattered,” and “variable” do not describe how reliable the predicted values are in this sentence.
