Consider the following scatterplot. Does it show a linear, quadratic, or exponential function?


18)

Consider the following scatterplot. Does it show a linear, quadratic, or exponential function?


Use the 2-way frequency table below to answer the following 4 questions. It shows hair color for a group of people at a meeting.


19)

Which category had the most people?           


20)

As a group, were there more female blondes or male blondes?

Hint:  A relative frequency is found by finding the decimal equivalent of  (# in category) / (total number).  Go back to the lesson for an example.
