A student is assessing the correlation between the number of hours a plant receives sunlight and the height to which it grows. The table shows the data:


Number of hours of sunlight
(x) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Height of plant in cm
(y) 4 7 10 13 16 19 22 25 28 31


Part A: Is there any correlation between the number of hours of sunlight that a plant receives and the height to which it grows? Justify your answer. (4 points)

Part B: Write a function that best fits the data. (3 points)

Part C: What does the slope and y-intercept of the plot indicate about the plant? (3 points)

Answer:

Hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Yes

Since

y=f(x)

f(0)=4

f(1)=7 : f(1)=f(0)+1*3

f(2)=10= 7+3 : f(2)=f(1)+3 =f(0)+2*3

f(3)=13=10+3: f(3)=f(2)+3=f(0)+3*3

...

f(9)=31=28+3=f(8)+3=f(0)+9*3

f(n)=f(0)+n*3=4+n*3

Part B: y=3x+4

Part C: slope=3 , y-intercept=4

The slope indicate the grow of the plant (how many cm does it grow in function of the height it receives)

y-intercept indicate the original height of the plant.
