The following data represent the Woodward Academy Upper School enrollment over the past 35 years

1965	1970	1975	1980	1985	1990	1995	2000
650	690	740	790	840	900	960	1025

Which of the following statements is true?

(a) The scatter plot appears relatively linear. The linear fit produces a clear pattern in the residual plot so a transformation is needed.

(b) The plot of x, log y is even more linear.

(c) log y = 2.7836 + .0057x This also produces an r = .9999 and a better residual plot (less pattern). This predicts enrollment given years since 1960.

(d) log y = 2.7836 + .0057 (50) so log y = 3.0686 and the enrollment would be 1171 students.
