Leah manages an ice cream store. She wants to see if there is a relationship between the number of ounces of ice cream for each size and  the number of ice creams sold. For one month Leah counted the number of each size of ice cream sold and put her data in the chart below.Size of Ice Cream Ounces of Ice Cream Number Sold in One MonthKid's Size 2 11Small 4 29Medium 6 52Large 8 45Super Size 12 12 Leah created the scatterplot below.Which of the following interpretations does this scatterplot best support?Group of answer choicesThe negative quadratic trendline is the best choice for this data because it looks like the medium size was the most frequently purchased (the vertex) and both the kid's size and the super size were purchased less frequently.The positive quadratic trendline is the best choice for this data because it looks like the medium size was the most frequently purchased (the vertex) and both the kid's size and the super size were purchased less frequently.The decreasing exponential trendline is the best choice for this data because purchases decreased exponentially as the ounces increasedThere is no relationship between the ounces of ice cream and the number sold.A linear trendline with a positive slope is the best choice for this data because it is the simplest model and because customers purchased more ice creams as the number of ounces increased.

Solution

The negative quadratic trendline is the best choice for this data because it looks like the medium size was the most frequently purchased (the vertex) and both the kid's size and the super size were purchased less frequently. This interpretation is supported by the data in the chart, which shows that the number of ice creams sold decreases as the size increases from medium to super size, and also decreases as the size decreases from medium to kid's size. This suggests a negative quadratic relationship between the size of the ice cream and the number sold.

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?Group of answer choicesThe decreasing exponential trendline is the best choice for this data because older men's running times are exponentially shorter than younger men's times.There is no relationship between men's ages and their running times in the 200 meter race.A linear trendline with a negative slope is the best choice for this data because older men's running times are shorter than younger men's times.The quadratic trendline is the best choice for this data because from Jacob's scatterplot it looks like men around 40 have the slowest running time (the vertex). Men both younger and older than 40 are faster than 40 year olds.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.
