Question

The following scatter plot represents the number of views a video gets each day.

(b) Use a graphing calculator or other technology to write a regression equation to model the data.
(c) A video is considered viral if it receives more than three million views by the time it has been posted for 10 days. Use the model from Part (b) to determine if the video will receive enough views to be considered a viral video. Show your work.

Answer 1

y = 1.0535(4.9512)^x

It can be considered a viral video

Explanation:

Using the exponential regression calculator, the regression model obtained is :

y = 1.0535(4.9512)^x

Using the model, we can determine if a video can be considered viral ;

Number of days, x = 10

y = 1.0535(4.9512)^10

y = 1.0535(8853290.1338)

y = 9,326,941.15

Hence, video will receive way over 3 million reviews, a review of about 9,326,941, hence, it can be considered a viral video.
