Buying one movie ticket online costs $16.50. Two tickets cost $30.50. Assuming that the relationship is linear, what is the recursive formula?

• $A\left(n\right)=A\left(n-1\right)+14;\ A\left(1\right)=16.50$

• $A\left(n\right)=A\left(n-1\right)+16.50;\ A\left(1\right)=14$

• $A\left(n\right)=A\left(n-1\right)+30.50;\ A\left(1\right)=16.50$

Buying one movie ticket online costs $16.50. Two tickets cost $30.50. Assuming that the relationship is linear, what is the explicit formula?

•  $A\left(n\right)=16.50+14n$ 

•  $A\left(n\right)=2.50+14n$ 

•  $A\left(n\right)=30.50+\left(n-1\right)14$ 

•  $A\left(n\right)=14+\left(n-1\right)16.50$  

What type of association is shown by the data in the scatter plot?

Choose the best explanation for the model described by the residual plot.

• The model is a good fit because the data are clustered at 1.

• The model is a good fit because the data are randomly distributed above and below the x-axis.

• The model is a bad fit because the data are not linear.

• The model is a bad fit because the data are too far from the x-axis.
