Janna is making a prediction of the frequency of a key that is 12 keys from middle C.

Question illustration
A
interpolation, because a key that is 12 keys from middle C is within the data set
B
interpolation, because a key that is 12 keys from middle C is outside the data set
C
extrapolation, because a key that is 12 keys from middle C is within the data set
D
extrapolation, because a key that is 12 keys from middle C is outside the data set

The table shows the relationship between time spent running and distance traveled.

Question illustration
A
linear, because the r value for the linear model is closest to 1
B
exponential, because the r value for the exponential model is closest to 0
C
linear, because the rate of change between each pair of points is exactly 520
D
exponential, because the rate of change between each pair of points is 1.98

The table represents the temperature of a cup of coffee over time.

Question illustration
A
exponential, because there is a relatively consistent multiplicative rate of change
B
exponential, because there is a relatively consistent additive rate of change
C
linear, because there is a relatively consistent multiplicative rate of change
D
linear, because there is a relatively consistent additive rate of change
