TRAINING 2024 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
Outlier - Answer-data points which are distinctly separate from the others in a data set
for reasons beyond the data
coefficient of determination (r^2) - Answer-Rating of how well the function fits the real
world data.
regression equation - Answer-Best fit equation for a set of real world data
concave upward - Answer-y=x^2
Concave down - Answer-y=-x^2
Inflection Point - Answer-point where concavity changes, instantaneous rate of change
is the highest.
Asymptote - Answer-A limitation on a function where the line approaches it but never
crosses.
Function with one curve and one Asymptote - Answer-exponential
Logistic Function - Answer-Function with two curves and two Asympototes
Concave Up - Answer-The function is increasing at an increasing rate. or The function is
decreasing at a decreasing rate.
Concave Down - Answer-The function is increasing at a decreasing rate. Or
The function is decreasing at an increasing rate.
The Constant e - Answer-2.71828...
slope-intercept form - Answer-y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of
the line.
Logistic Function Equation Upper Limit - Answer-L+m
