Question

Use the graph below to describe the linearization of the data. How would you expect the linearization to change if the data were to extend beyond age 20?

PLEASEEEE HELPPPP!!

Answer 1

The coordinates of the points in the graph are;

(5, 2), (10, 3.5), (15, 5), 20, 5.5)

The data points are plotted using MS Excel

Given that the height of a person stops increasing beyond around 20 years of age, it is expected that the height will remain slightly the same at 5.5 feet beyond 20 as follows;

(25, 5.5), (30, 5.5), (35, 5.5), (40, 5.5)

Therefore, if the data were to extend beyond 20, the linearization will give a more horizontal line with a gentler slope
