Answer

(a) See graph. (b) $y = 0.0098x - 19.118$ (c) $y = 0.0003x^2 - 1.0203x + 997.9$

Work Step by Step

(a) Using the data, we can make a scatterplot as shown in the figure. (b) A regression line can be found as $y = 0.0098x - 19.118$ as shown in the figure. (c) We can find a quadratic curve that captures the trend of the data as $y = 0.0003x^2 - 1.0203x + 997.9$ as shown in the figure.
