Solution

Without the actual graph, it's impossible to determine which trend line would be most appropriate for Shondra's data. The trend line would depend on the relationship between the outside temperature and the number of miles she runs. If the number of miles increases as the temperature increases, then an increasing linear or exponential trend line might be appropriate. If the number of miles decreases as the temperature increases, then a negative quadratic or decreasing exponential trend line might be appropriate. If the number of miles first increases and then decreases as the temperature increases, then a positive quadratic trend line might be appropriate.

Jacob is a marathon runner. He wants to know if a relationship exists between male runners’ ages and their marathon times. He used data from the New York City Marathon to create the scatterplot below.Select the trend line and reasoning that would best show the relationship between marathon runners' ages and race times.Group of answer choicesAn exponential trendline is best because older men tend to have much slower running times.An exponential trendline is best because men between 25 and 30 are the fastest. Race times increase for men who are both older and younger than 25–30.A quadratic trendline is best because older men tend to have much slower running times.A quadratic trendline is best because men between 25 and 30 are the fastest. Race times increase for men who are both older and younger than 25–30.A linear trendline is best because it is the simplest model of the relationship between running times and age.
