Question

The total number of labor hours for a construction project by week x is given by: Week 1 4 7 10 13 16 19 Total hours 25 158 1254 5633 9280 10,010 10,100 Look at its scatter plot, an appropriate model for this data is:

Answer 1

Logistic model

Explanation:

A scatter plot is a mathematical representation or diagram which is used to shoe the relation between two given variables. It uses the Cartesian coordinates which is used to display the values for a typically two variables for the given set of data.

In the context, a scatter plot is made between two variables. The two variables are the total number of hours and the number of weeks.

From the graph shown, we can say that model is a logistic model as the shape of the graph is S shaped.

Therefore, the appropriate model for the data given is logistic model.
