A person travels by car.  They record their miles driven in a data table.  Calculate the linear regression equation of this data.

• y = 61.93x - 1.79
• y = -1.79x + 61.93
• y = 0.016x + 0.03
• y = 0.03x + 0.016

The linear regression equation is y = 61.93x - 1.79.  Use the equation to predict how far this person will travel after 10 hours of driving.

• 10 miles
• 617.5 miles
• 0.19 miles
• 500 miles

A chemist has a 100-gram sample of a radioactive material. He records the amount of radioactive material every week for 6 weeks and obtains the following data: Find the exponential model of the function.

• y = 100(8.7)^x

• y = 100(1.87)^x

• y = 100(.87)^x

• y = 100(.13)^x

Write the exponential regression equation for this data.

• Y = 8.16(2.7)^X
• Y = 81.6(2.7)^X
• Y = 8.16(.27)^X
• Y = 8.16(27)^X
