Answer 1

Or a simple linear function. What is your definition of best choice?

Answer 2

that is the question. we only have the option of exponential or log graph. this is what the scatterplot looks like.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Um. if the increase was exponential, then you'd expect more than 50-fold increase from 1991-2002, based on the period 1985-2002

Answer 5

I forget how to do this one but what are the choices

Answer 6

let me grab my papers

Answer 7

I am not really sure I have not got it graded yet but I put exponential function

Answer 8

Answer 10

a log function looks something like this
