Answer:

The correct option is a.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic regression equation is

[tex]y=ax^2+bx+c[/tex]                         ..... (1)

Using graphing calculator we get

[tex]a=-0.143393\approx -0.143[/tex]

[tex]b=0.59525\approx 0.595[/tex]

[tex]c=2.82964\approx 2.830[/tex]

Substitute these values in equation (1) to find the quadratic regression equation for this data set.

[tex]y=-0.143x^2+0.595x+2.830[/tex]

Therefore the correct option is a.
