Question

please provide correct response and rationale. thanks

This table shows the rainfall (in centimeters) for a city in different months. The quadratic regression equation that models these data is y =-0.77T+ 6.06x-5.9. Month Rainfall (cm) 2 2 4 5 6 4 3 Using this model, the predicted rainfall for month 12 is about-44.06 centimeters. Does this prediction make sense? Why or why not? O A. Yes, because the rainfall is declining. B. No, because you can't measure rainfall in centimeters. ° C. Yes, because it is the result of substituting x = 12. O D. No, because you can't have a negative amount of raintall.

Explanation / Answer

the correct answer is (D) as you cannot have negative amount of rainfall. A negative amount of rainfall in 12th month doesn't makes any sense.
