As part of the results, your calculator will display a number known as the
correlation coefficient , labeled by the variable
or
(You may have to change the calculator’s settings for these to be shown.) The values are an indication of the “goodness of fit” of the regression equation to the data. We more commonly use the value of
instead of
but the closer either value is to 1, the better the regression equation approximates the data.
Exponential regression
Exponential regression is used to model situations in which growth begins slowly and then accelerates rapidly without bound, or where decay begins rapidly and then slows down to get closer and closer to zero. We use the command “ExpReg” on a graphing utility to fit an exponential function to a set of data points. This returns an equation of the form,
Note that:
must be non-negative.
when
we have an exponential growth model.
when
we have an exponential decay model.
Given a set of data, perform exponential regression using a graphing utility.
Use the STAT then EDIT menu to enter given data.
Clear any existing data from the lists.
List the input values in the L1 column.
List the output values in the L2 column.
Graph and observe a scatter plot of the data using the STATPLOT feature.
Use ZOOM [9] to adjust axes to fit the data.
Verify the data follow an exponential pattern.
Find the equation that models the data.
Select “ExpReg” from the STAT then CALC menu.
Use the values returned for
a and
b to record the model,
Graph the model in the same window as the scatterplot to verify it is a good fit for the data.
Using exponential regression to fit a model to data
In 2007, a university study was published investigating the crash risk of alcohol impaired driving. Data from 2,871 crashes were used to measure the association of a person’s blood alcohol level (BAC) with the risk of being in an accident.

relative risk is a measure of how many times more likely a person is to crash. So, for example, a person with a BAC of 0.09 is 3.54 times as likely to crash as a person who has not been drinking alcohol.

Let
represent the BAC level, and let
represent the corresponding relative risk. Use exponential regression to fit a model to these data.
After 6 drinks, a person weighing 160 pounds will have a BAC of about
How many times more likely is a person with this weight to crash if they drive after having a 6-pack of beer? Round to the nearest hundredth.
Using the STAT then EDIT menu on a graphing utility, list the BAC values in L1 and the relative risk values in L2. Then use the STATPLOT feature to verify that the scatterplot follows the exponential pattern shown in

Use the “ExpReg” command from the STAT then CALC menu to obtain the exponential model,
Converting from scientific notation, we have:
Notice that
which indicates the model is a good fit to the data. To see this, graph the model in the same window as the scatterplot to verify it is a good fit as shown in

If a 160-pound person drives after having 6 drinks, he or she is about 26.35 times more likely to crash than if driving while sober.
The lymphatic system plays several crucial roles in the human body, functioning as a key component of the immune system and contributing to the maintenance of fluid balance. Its main functions include:
1. Immune Response: The lymphatic system produces and transports lymphocytes, which are a type of
asegid
to transport fluids fats proteins and lymphocytes to the blood stream as lymph
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems

how does the stomach protect itself from the damaging effects of HCl
the normal temperature is 37°c or 98.6 °Fahrenheit is important for maintaining the homeostasis in the body
the body regular this temperature through the process called thermoregulation which involves brain skin muscle and other organ working together to maintain stable internal temperature
