The following data show the distance D, in millions of miles, and the period P, in years, of five of the planets. (The period is the time required for one revolution about the sun.)
Planet Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter P 0.24 0.62 1 1.88 11.87 D 36 67.1 92.9 141.7 483.4?
A: Use power regression to model the distance as a function of the period. Use two digits of accuracy for the coefficient and for the power.B: Plot the data along with the power model you found in part A.C: If one planet takes twice as long to orbit the sun as another, how do their distances from the sun compare? Round your to two decimal places.
What will be an ideal response?
?
B:
?
?
C: The planet with the longer period is 1.59 times as far away from the sun as the planet with the shorter period.
