Question 23 • 25-26 CRX Math Models with Applications 7052A
Enter the years since 2000 as x = 0, 1, …, 6 and the rental figures as y-values, then run an exponential regression of the form y = a(b)^x. The regression gives approximately y = 9.87(0.8213)^x, so choice C is the best fit. The base is less than 1, which matches the decline in rentals over time.
