Based on the scatterplot and computer output, a reasonable estimate for the stock price for week 95 is:

A
220 point 4 4 dollars because widehat log y is equal to 0 point 0 0 3 0 repeating 95 plus 2 point 0 5 8 3 is equal to 2 point 3 4 3 3 and 10 raised to the 2 point 3 4 3 3 power is equal to 220 point 4 4 .
B
2 point 2 7 dollars because hat y is equal to 0 point 0 0 2 2 repeating 95 plus 2 point 0 5 8 3 is equal to 2 point 2 6 7 3 .
C
9 point 6 5 dollars because widehat log y is equal to 0 point 0 0 2 2 repeating 95 plus 2 point 0 5 8 3 is equal to 2 point 2 6 7 3 and e raised to the 2 point 2 6 7 3 power is equal to 9 point 6 5 3 3 .
D
185 point 0 5 dollars because widehat log y is equal to 0 point 0 0 2 2 repeating 95 plus 2 point 0 5 8 3 is equal to 2 point 2 6 7 3 and 10 raised to the 2 point 2 6 7 3 power is equal to 185 point 0 5 .

Based on the scatterplot and the residual plot, is a linear model appropriate for predicting the Short Program score from the Free Skate score?

A
A linear model is appropriate because the scatterplot is roughly linear, and the residual plot does not show a clear pattern.
B
A linear model is not appropriate because there are outliers in the scatterplot.
C
A linear model is not appropriate because the residual plot does not show a linear pattern.
D
A linear model is appropriate because the residuals are centered about zero.

Based on the residual plot, is the linear model appropriate?

A
No, there are no homes between 2 comma 300 and 2 comma 900 square feet.
B
No, there is no clear pattern in the residual plot.
C
Yes, there is no clear pattern in the residual plot.
D
Yes, half of the residuals are positive and half are negative.

Which of the following is an accurate description of the scatterplot?

A
The expected yield of a crop is high whenever the number of seeds planted per square foot is small or large. A larger yield is expected when the number of seeds per square foot is around 60.
B
The more seeds that are planted per square foot, the smaller the expected yield of the crop.
C
The more seeds that are planted per square foot, the larger the expected yield of the crop.
D
The expected yield of a crop is low whenever the number of seeds planted per square foot is small or large. A larger yield is expected when the number of seeds per square foot is around 60.
