Students in Mrs. Virginia Henderson's Statistics class worked in groups of 3 and did several activities to make their decision of how many rubber bands to use for the "bungee" to get as close to the ground as possible without cracking open a head.
First they ran test jumps using 0-7 bands and recorded the distances. They used that data to find a least squares regression line and its equation to use to make their prediction of how many bands they would need. They tried three types, a linear model, a quadratic model, and an exponential model. They decided, using various strategies, scatterplots, residual plots, and correlation values, which model they would use for the final jump.
