Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLEIST The table shows an estimate of the average hourly emissions of sulfur dioxide, SO2, in pounds per megawatt-hour (In/MWh) from a power plant during the month of January, where 1 represents the hour from 12:00 a.m. to 1-00a.m., and so on. If a statistician decides to use a parabola to model the data, which is the best model?

Sulfur dioxide in air affects the respiratory system in humans and is the main cause of acid rain. Thanks to the Clean Air Act and its amendments, sulfur dioxide levels in the United States have dramatically fallen over the past 30 years. The graph below shows the mean sulfur dioxide levels from 136 measuring sites in the United States for the period 1990 to 2016. Examine the graph and answer the questions that follow.
