Some high school physics students dropped a ball and measured the distance fallen (in centimeters) at various times (in seconds) after its release. If you have studied physics, then you probably know that the theoretical relationship between the variables is distance = 490(time)2. A scatterplot of the students’

data showed a clear curved pattern. At 0.68 seconds after release, the ball had fallen 220.4 centimeters.

How much more or less did the ball fall than the theoretical model predicts?

(a) More by 226.576 centimeters

(b) More by 6.176 centimeters

(c) No more and no less

(d) Less by 226.576 centimeters

(e) Less by 6.176 centimeters
