Fitting a Function to Data

Adapted from Walch Education

Key Concepts

• A graphing calculator can graph a scatter plot of given data and find a regression equation that models the given data.

• Decide whether the data would best be modeled with a quadratic regression, linear regression, or exponential regression.

Key Concepts, continued.

• To decide which regression model is best, look at the scatter plot of the data you entered.

• After you find the appropriate model using your calculator, you can graph this equation on top of the scatter plot to verify that it is a reasonable model.
