It is often more convenient to evaluate a polynomial when it is written is "Horner form."
... f(x) = (((10x -4)x -8)x +3)x -6
The graphs offered can be distinguished by their values of f(1) and f(2), so our table can be a short one.
... f(1) = (((10·1 -4)1 -8)1 +3)1 -6 = -5 . . . . . . . eliminates graph d
... f(2) = (((10·2 -4)2 -8)2 +3)2 -6 = 96 . . . . eliminates graphs a and c
The appropriate choice is b.

To find whether there is an association between these two let us find the correlation coefficient between these two variables.
r=-0.1975
Since |r|<0.5, correlation is weak.
Let us test the hypothesis r =0
H0:r=0
Ha:r not equals 0
Test statistic =
p =0.298
Since p value >0.10, at 90% significance level we accept that there is no association.
