Question

Determine the logarithmic regression of the data below using either a calculator or spreadsheet program. Then, estimate the x−value when the y−value is 5.2. Round your answer to one decimal place. (4.7,10.7),(7.8,20.6),(10.5,30.2),(15.6,41),(20.8,56.1),(22,65.1). Please help right away! Thank you so much!

Answer 1

Answer:

• y ≈ 33.7·ln(x) -45.9
• 4.6

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator can perform logarithmic regression, as can a spreadsheet. The least-squares best fit log curve is about ...

  y ≈ 33.7·ln(x) -45.9

The value of x estimated to make y = 5.2 is about 4.6.
