Question

The data below is hurricane Irma’s wind speeds at the Key West Airport starting at midnight on September 10, 2017.

h, hours since midnight 6 9 12 24 36 44
W, wind speed in mph 140 140 80 48 30 29

1)  Assuming the linear trend continues, predict how long it will take for the wind speed to be 85 mph. Round to two decimal places.

 

2) Assuming the exponential trend continues, predict how long it will take for the wind speed to be 85 mph. Round to two decimal places.

3) Compare both of the predicted times for the wind speed to drop to 85 mph with the original data. Which model predicts the time best? Explain why giving specific details.

4)According to the exponential model, what will the wind speed be after 20 hours? Round to two decimal places.
