Brakes. The table below shows stopping distances in feet for a car tested 3 times at each of 5 speeds. We hope to create a model that predicts Stopping Distance from the Speed of the car.
a) Explain why a linear model is not appropriate.
b) Re-express the data to straighten the scatterplot.
c) Create an appropriate model.
d) Estimate the stopping distance for a car traveling 55 mph.
e) Estimate the stopping distance for a car traveling 70 mph.
f) How much confidence do you place in these predictions? Why?
