HP_ Linear & Exponential Regression

The document contains a series of problems related to linear and exponential regression, including writing equations, calculating correlation coefficients, and making predictions based on given data. It also includes questions about causal relationships and functions. Additionally, it addresses concepts related to functions and intercepts in the context of a pool's water level over time.

Name___________________________________________PD_____ HP: Linear & Exponential Regression

1. A cup of soup is left on a countertop to cool. The table


shows the temperatures, in degrees Fahrenheit, of the
soup recorded over a 10 minutes. Write an
exponential regression equation for the data,
rounding all values to the nearest hundredth.

2. What is the correlation coefficient in #1? And what type of correlation is it?

r = ______ Correlation type:__________________________________________

3. A group of students who studied for their most recent test and their test scores are shown below. Using
the table, write the linear regression equation that would represent this situation.

4. Using the equation from #3, make these predictions:


a. A student’s test score for someone who studied 4 hours?_______
b. How many hours a student studied with a score of 68%?_______

5. For #3, what was the correlation coefficient? And what type of correlation was it?

r = ______ Correlation type:__________________________________________

6. Does this example from #3 represent a casual relationship? (hours studied and test score) Justify your
answer. USE FULL SENTENCES.

7. A single-celled organism was grown in a petri dish as shown below for a period of 16 hours. Using the
table, write an exponential function that would best fit the data shown.

8. Using the equation your found in #7, make these


predictions:
a. Number of organisms at 18 hours?__________

b. How much time for 200 organisms?__________


(Use the table on calculator)

9. For #7, what was the correlation coefficient? And what


type of correlation is it?
10. The calories, x, versus an item's grams of fat, y, are shown for various fast food items. Using the
table, write a linear function that would best fit the data.

11. Using the equation you found in #10, make the predictions:
a. Calories with 38 grams of fat?___________

b. Grams of fat for a 600 calorie item?__________

12. For #10, what was the correlation coefficient? And what type of correlation is it?

r = ______ Correlation type:__________________________________________

DRIP REVIEW:
13. Which of the following is NOT an example of y as a function of x?
a. The height of a football (y) from the time (x) is punted until it reaches the ground.
b. The perimeter of a rectangle (y) with an area of 150 inches paired with the measurement of the
rectangles length (x).
c. The height of a person (y) paired with their shoe size (x).
d. The value of a number (y) is 5 more than twice another number (x).

14. Justify your answer for 13 by using complete sentences to explain and you MUST show a graph of the
situation to show why it is NOT a function.

15. The table below shows the linear relationship


between the amount of water in a pool over a
14-day period while the pool is being drained.
Which statement best represents the x-intercept?

a. The maximum amount of water in the pool is 30,000 gallons.


b. The pool will take 20 days to empty.
c. The amount of water in the pool decreases by 1500 gallons per day.
d. The initial amount of water in the pool is 30,000 gallons.

16. Which answer choice in #15 would best represent the y-intercept?
