A popular television show recently released a video
preview for the upcoming season on its website. As
fans of the show discover the video, the number of
views of the preview video has grown each day during
the last 2 weeks. The number of days since the release
of the video and the natural log of the number of video
views is shown in the scatterplot.

Based on the scatterplot and residual plot, what type
of model would be appropriate for summarizing the
relationship between days and number of views?
O An exponential model is appropriate because the
residual plot does not show a clear pattern.
O A linear model is appropriate because the
scatterplot shows a strong, positive linear
relationship.
O A power model is appropriate because the
scatterplot of days and natural log of views is strong
and linear.
An exponential model is appropriate because the
relationship between days and the natural log of
views is linear, and the residual plot does not show a
clear pattern.
