From the attached diagram you can see that regression that best fits given data is quadratic (not linear).

  • option 1 is false, because it gives linear regression;
  • option 2 is true, it gives graph, similar to quadratic parabola;
  • options 3 and 4 are false, because graphs are decreasing.

Answer: correct choice is B.

The graph of the given values is required.

Option B is correct.

The points are

\((1,97)[tex]

[tex](2,168)\)

\((3,259)\)

\((4,375)\)

Let us find if the points are in the form of a line by finding the slope.

\(\dfrac{168-97}{2-1}=71\)

\(\dfrac{259-168}{3-2}=91\)

\(71 eq 91\)

So, the function is not linear.

Therefore, A and C are incorrect.

Also the function is not decreasing so option D is also eliminated.

Hence, option B is correct.
