Reto Zach carried out an experiment of dropping whelks of various sizes from different heights. Based on your work with the interactive graph, answer the following questions. Experimenting with different values of the parameters a, b and c is not a systematic method for producing a model. Different people may settle on different values of a, b and c. A good method would be reproducible by anyone and based on robust procedures.
Linear regression is a widely accepted and reproducible method.
If the value of a can be assumed to be equal to 1, then it is possible to transform the question of finding this hyperbolic model into a finding a linear model. When ready, click on the following button to show the transformed data and the corresponding graph. A line of best fit is automatically calculated for you and plotted with the data. Rewrite this equation to express the hyperbolic relationship between H and N . Compare the equation derived using this method to the equation you found above.
