Answer:

  C

Step-by-step explanation:

You will probably find that line C has the best correlation with the data plotted.

In general, the "line of best fit" will minimize the sum of squares of vertical distances between data points and the line. The line with the smallest vertical differences is the line in graph C.

_____

The line in graph D goes through several data points, so the vertical distance from the point to the line is zero for those. However, the remaining points are farther from the line than they are in graph C. The measure of fit is the square of the distance, so the penalty for larger distances is fairly severe.

A bacteria population experiences continuous growth. If there were 2,000 bacteria present at the start of an experiment, how lon

Answer:

D. About 15.69 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours.

We have been given that there  were 2,000 bacteria present at the start of an experiment and the growth rate was 7% per hour.

Since number of bacteria is growing exponentially, so we will use exponential growth function to solve our given problem.

The continuous exponential growth formula is in form: y=e^{kx}, where,

e= mathematical constant,

k = Growth rate in decimal form.

Let us convert our given rate in decimal form.

7\%=\frac{7}{100}=0.07

Upon substituting our given values we will get exponential function for bacteria growth as: y=2,000*e^{0.07x}, where, y represents number of bacteria after x hours.

Since we need to figure out the number of hours it will take for there to be 6,000 bacteria, so we will substitute y= 6,000 in our function.

6,000=2,000*e^{0.07x}

Let us divide both sides of our equation by 2,000.

\frac{6,000}{2,000}=\frac{2,000*e^{0.07x}}{2,000}

3=e^{0.07x}

Let us take natural log of both sides of our equation.

\text{ln}(3)=ln(e^{0.07x})

\text{ln}(3)=0.07x

1.0986122=0.07x  

x=\frac{1.0986122}{0.07}  

x=15.69446\approx 15.69  

Therefore, it will take about 15.69 hours to be 6,000 bacteria and option D is the correct choice.
