Read each question carefully and provide your best answer. Show all your work for full credit.
1. Which type of regression is most appropriate for data that shows a constant rate of change?
Quadratic
Exponential
Linear
Logarithmic
2. The is a measure of how well a regression model fits the observed data.
3. When data points form a parabolic shape, a regression is typically the best fit.
4. Explain the difference between interpolation and extrapolation when using a curve of best fit.
5. Describe a real-world scenario where an exponential curve of best fit would be appropriate.
6. For the given scatter plot, visually determine if a linear, quadratic, or exponential curve of best fit would be most appropriate. Justify your answer.
7. A high correlation coefficient always implies a cause-and-effect relationship between variables.
True
False
