Question 423612: I have to pick a graph and compare 2 either a linear model, an exponential model, a second order polynomial (quadratic) model, or a third order polynomial. I choose the graph "Median weekly earnings of full-time wage earnings and salary earnings for people age 25 and over by ecational attainment(annual averages) for the year 2009.
Less than HS diploma= 454 million

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your data is pairing nominal with numerical.
You can use a histogram to show those relationships,
but not a function.
--
I would suggest you find a graph that relates
numerical to numerical, so you can generate a
function.
