Question 7
Nikki recorded the number of learners who were absent from school each day due to illness. She did this for several days starting at the beginning of February. She then fit a linear function to model a set of data to predict y, the number of illnesses, from x, the number of days since the beginning of February.
The graph shows a plot of residuals for her function.
1Points
A scatter plot. The vertical axis is labeled residual, with 0 in the center of the axis. The horizontal axis is labeled x, number of days. The points of the scatter plot for a U shape, with the base of the U below the x axis and the ends above the x axis.
Which of the following about Nikki's linear function can be supported by the evidence shown?
Hint: If the points in a residual plot are RANDOMLY dispersed around the horizontal axis, a linear model is appropriate for the data.
A
The curve-like pattern seen in the residual plot indicates that a linear function is not an appropriate model.
B
A linear function is an appropriate model since there is a strong association between the two variables seen in the residual plot.
C
A linear function is not an appropriate model since some of the residuals in the residual plot are large.

You drop a rubber ball off the roof of a 50 meter high building onto a paved parking lot. it bounces back up with every bounce, but not quite all the way back up to you. after the first bounce it bounces back only 80 percent of the distance it was dropped from. the pattern continues, meaning after every bounce it comes up to just 80 percent of the previous maximum height. so if before the first bounce the height is 50 meters, what height does the ball reach after the fifth bounce? round your answer to one decimal place and chose the correct response from the choices below:

The median of a data set is the measure of center that is found by adding the data values and dividing the total by the number of data values that is the value that occurs with the greatest frequency that is the value midway between the maximum and minimum values in the original data set that is the middle value when the original data values are arranged in order of increasing (or decreasing) magnitude
