Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-A thermometer is removed from a cup of coffee and placed in water whose temperature $\left( \mathrm { T } _ { \mathrm { m } } \right)$ is $10 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$ . The following data were collected over the next 30 seconds.


Use an exponential regression equation for the $\mathrm { T } - \mathrm { T } \mathrm { m }$ data to estimate the thermometer reading when it was removed from the hot coffee.

A) $95.64 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$
B) $91.28 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$
C) $89.92 { } ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$
