Question

Can someone please help me? I'll give a medal

Use this original data, but update it with the following information so that it is accurate through 2011. (The 2012 NY Marathon was cancelled due to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.) Use the entire data set(1976-2011) to answer all parts of Question 2.

Part 1: Find a regression model for this new, updated data set (1976-2011). Explain your method.

Part 2: How well does it fit? Explain your answer and reasoning.

Part 3: Use your model to predict the attendance in 2017.

Answer 1

Special Note: You may make any coefficient zero. This eliminates the variable. For example, if you wanted to make y = 3x2 + 2, a and c would be zero to cancel out the x3 and the x terms.
Select GeoGebra if you would like to use a graphing interactive to complete this part of the project.
Graph different functions by changing a, b, c, and d to “design” your ideal roller coaster. Come up with at least four equations that when pieced together would make your ultimate roller coaster. Be sure to note what window sizes you’re using in your graphs. You may have to change the default size to better see each of the polynomials’ shapes.
Use a drawing program (or draw by hand and scan) to recreate your roller coaster, and for each section, provide the equations you decided upon.
