Patterns, Relationships, and Correlation

The first five terms of a pattern are shown.

9, 27, 81, 243, 729

The equation S_n = a(b)ⁿ can be used to calculate the value, S_n, of any term, n, in the pattern.

What are the values of a and b in the equation?

• a = 9,  b = 9

• a = 1,  b = 3

• a = 3,  b = 3

• a = 3,  b = 9

Does r indicate a strong linear relationship between the variables?

• This indicates a strong negative linear relationship because r is close to -1.

• This indicates a moderate negative linear relationship because r is close to -1.

• This indicates there is no linear relationship because r is close to -1.

• This indicates a weak negative linear relationship because r is close to -1.

Kendra and Theo each collected data on the number of birds they observed at a bird feeder each hour for eight hours. the data Kendra collected are summarized as shown.

• The range of Kendra's data is 6.

  • The median of Kendra's data is 7.

  • The mean of Kendra's data is 7.

The data Theo collected has the same range and the same median as the data Kendra collected, but the mean of Theo's data is 7.5  The line plot correctly shows six of the eight data points for Theo's data set.  

 

Plot the remaining two data points on the line plot.
