Deck 19: Modeling Nearly Exponential Data

Question 1

Exponential regression always provides an exact fit for data.

Answer 1

False

Question 2

Exponential regression should never be used if data do not exhibit constant percentage change.

Answer 2

False

Question 3

Data that are decreasing at an increasing rate should not be modeled by an exponential function.

Answer 3

True

Question 4

If linear regression does not provide the proper fit for data, then exponential regression is always appropriate.

Question 5

For data that are approximately exponential, exponential regression can be used to find the approximate growth rate.
