Plot the data on a scatter plot. Produce a sine regression model for the data. Round the values for a, b, c, and d to the nearest 0.001.
a.
y = 67.577 sine (0.500 x minus 1.959) + 20.077
b.
y = 20.077 sine (0.500 x minus 1.959) + 67.577
c.
y = 20.077 sine (1.959 x minus 0.500) + 67.577
d.
y = 20.077 sine (67.577 x minus 1.959) + 0.500

Answer 1

Answer:

• b. y = 20.077 sin(0.500x - 1.959) + 67.577

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to solve

• 1. Plot the points for one year
• 2. Add the functions to same graph and compare
