A medical researcher is using rats to do an experimental test to determine the appropriate dosage for a new cancer
drug. Each rat will be given a different dosage of the drug. The oncologist will then measure the growth rate of the
cancerous tumor.

Dexter has collected data about women's heights and their shoe sizes. He noticed that taller women tend to have
larger shoe sizes and shorter women tend to have smaller shoe sizes. Dexter would like to use a trendline to predict
the shoe size for a woman that is 59 inches tall.
Which type of trendline would be the best choice to model the relationship between women's heights and their shoe
sizes?


A linear trendline.

The following data was collected by Austrailian researchers and published in the Australian Journal of Zoology. The
data shows the nasal width and nasal length of a specific species of male gray kangaroo.
Researchers used this data to determine if a particular kangaroo skull belonged to this species of kangaroo. They
found that kangaroo skulls from other species did not follow this same data trend.
If a kangaroo skull had a nasal length of 630 mm and a nasal width of 235 mm, does it appear that this skull is from
this specific species of male gray kangaroo?

Yes. By looking at the graph we can see if a skull has a
nasal length of 630 mm the nasal width varies between

about 200 and 250. Since 235 mm in within this range, the
skull is probably from this species.

Jacob wants to see if there is a relationship between the speed of a male runner and his age. He collected the
age and race time from 27 male runners in a local 200 meter race. His data is depicted in the scatterplot below.
Which of the following interpretations does this scatterplot best support?

A linear trendline with a positive slope is the best choice for

this data because older men's running times are longer than
younger men's times.

Keagan works at a furniture store where he receives a commission on his sales. He must choose between two plans
for his pay structure for the next year.

Edgar is a student at BYU-Idaho. In November, he was diagnosed with diabetes. Edgar used the Quantitative
Reasoning Process to create a plan to eliminate extra sugar from his diet and to put exercise into his schedule. As a
part of his plan, Edgar removed all the treats from his student apartment and joined an intramural basketball team at
BYU-Idaho.
Edgar has not thought about how his diet and exercise plan could change when he goes home for Christmas break.
How could Edgar practice using foresight to make more informed choices for his health over the holiday break?

Edgar could talk to his family about his plans and bring
healthy alternatives to the traditional holiday sweets. He
might make some alternative exercise plans when he is at
home so he can still reach his exercise goals without the
basketball league.

Medium 6 52
Large 8 45
Super Size 12 12

Natalie created the scatterplot below.
Which of the following interpretations does this scatterplot best support?

The negative quadratic trendline is the best choice for this
