The quadratic regression graphed on the coordinate grid represents the height of a road surface x meters from the center of the road.

Question illustration
A
The height of the surface decreases from the center out to the sides of the road.
B
The height of the surface increases, then decreases, from the center out to the sides of the road.
C
The height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.
D
The height of the surface remains the same the entire distance across the road.

Jessica plots the data points relating the amount of money she needs to repay a loan and the number of months she has been making payments. She calculates two regression models. Which is true?

Question illustration
A
The linear model better represents the situation because the amount she owes is decreasing by about the same amount every 6 months.
B
The linear model better represents the situation because according to the exponential model, the repayment amount will never be 0.
C
The exponential model better represents the situation because the amount she owes decreases by about the same amount every 6 months.
D
The exponential model better represents the situation because according to the linear model, the repayment amount will eventually be negative.

The table shows the estimated number of bees, y, in a hive x days after a pesticide is released near the hive.

Question illustration
A
y = 9,958(0.972)x
B
y = 0.972(9,958)x
C
y = 9,219x– 150
D
y = –150x + 9,219

Janna is making a prediction of the frequency of a key that is 12 keys from middle C.

Question illustration
A
interpolation, because a key that is 12 keys from middle C is within the data set
B
interpolation, because a key that is 12 keys from middle C is outside the data set
C
extrapolation, because a key that is 12 keys from middle C is within the data set
D
extrapolation, because a key that is 12 keys from middle C is outside the data set

The table represents the temperature of a cup of coffee over time.

Question illustration
e
exponential, because there is a relatively consistent multiplicative rate of change
e
exponential, because there is a relatively consistent additive rate of change
l
linear, because there is a relatively consistent multiplicative rate of change
l
linear, because there is a relatively consistent additive rate of change

The table shows the relationship between time spent running and distance traveled.

Question illustration
l
linear, because the r value for the linear model is closest to 1
e
exponential, because the r value for the exponential model is closest to 0
l
linear, because the rate of change between each pair of points is exactly 520
e
exponential, because the rate of change between each pair of points is 1.98
