Multiple Choice

Provide an appropriate response. For the data below, determine the logarithmic equation, y=a+b ln x that best fits the data. Hint: Begin by replacing each x -value with ln x then use the usual methods to find the equation of the least squares regression line.
$\begin{array} { r r r r r r } x & 1.2 & 2.7 & 4.4 & 6.6 & 9.5 \\\hline y & 1.6 & 4.7 & 8.9 & 9.5 & 12.0\end{array}$
