Concept explainers
Hurricanes Hurricanes are categorized using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, with winds 111-130 miles per hour (mph) corresponding to a category 3 hurricane, winds 131-155 mph corresponding to a category 4 hurricane, and winds in excess of 155 mph corresponding to a category 5 hurricane. The following data represent the number of major hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin (category 3, 4, or 5) each decade from 1921 to 2010.
(a) Draw a
(b) Find a sinusoidal function of the form that models the data.
(c) Draw the sinusoidal function found in part on the scatter diagram.
(d) Use a graphing utility to find the sinusoidal function of best fit.
(e) Graph the sinusoidal function of best fit on a scatter diagram of the data.
