In this assignment, you will be practicing making test plots to linearize data, as well as our three fundamental modeling strategies: graphing, math model, and slope sentences.  

Download and submit this document: Modeling Practice.doc Download Modeling Practice.doc

Utilize the instructions from our graphing skills 04_Exp Design_Analysis.pdf Download 04_Exp Design_Analysis.pdf to determine what test plot to create for each data set. (Note: For inverse functions, plot 1/x vs y to linearize the data).
