Looking at the scatterplot with all the information from your table, what do you wonder?

Looking at the scatterplot with all the information from your table, how do they compare?

Now you will use a graphing calculator to find regression equations using your actual rebound height data.

(Note: We will use this calculator a lot this year so the class will likely need to discuss it. Here's a video)

Use the linear regression function to determine a model. Record the equation below.

Choose a different regression to fit your data. Record the equation here.

Which seems to model the data better - linear, or your choice? Explain why.

Why did you choose the nonlinear regression that you chose? Explain.

Use your algebraic models (linear and your choice) to predict what happens on the 8th rebound height. Which model fits the experiment better? Explain.
