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 D 36 67.1 92.9 141.7 483.4 P 0.24 0.62 1 1.88 11.87?
A: Use power regression to model the period as a function of the distance. Use four digits of accuracy for the coefficient and two digits for the power.B: Plot the data along with the power model you found in part A.C: If one planet is twice as far away from the sun as another, how do their periods compare? Round your answer to two decimal places.
What will be an ideal response?
?A: 
?
B:
?
?
C: The more distant planet has a period 2.83 times as long as that of the nearer planet.
