Problem
The table below gives the results of a braking test.
Use the relationship between speed and braking distance to
estimate the braking distance required for a vehicle traveling
at 55 kph.
A hand-drawn scatter plot of these data points suggest a
linear relationship. The calculator uses the least squares
method to find the line of best fit,
y
'=
ax
'+
b
, for data entered in
lists.
Test No.
