Question

question 9 of 10 by visual inspection, determine the best - fitting regression model for the data plot below. a. exponential b. no pattern c. linear d. quadratic

Explanation:

The data points appear to lie approximately along a straight - line path. In an exponential model, the data would show a rapid increase or decrease in a non - linear fashion. For a quadratic model, the data would form a parabolic shape. Since the points seem to follow a linear trend, a linear regression model would be the best - fitting. There is a clear pattern, so "No pattern" is incorrect.

Answer:

C. Linear
