8. Exponential candy A student opened a bag of M&M'S® Chocolate Candies, dumped them out, and ate all the ones with the "M" on top. When he finished, he put the remaining 30 M&M'S back in the bag and repeated the same process over and over until all the M&M'S were gone. Here are data on the number of M&M'S remaining at the end of each of the first 6 courses. Course Number remaining 1 2 3 4 5 6 30 13 10 3 2 1 (a) Calculate an exponential model for these data using course as the explanatory variable. (b) Sketch the scatterplot, along with the exponential model. (c) Calculate and interpret the residual for the first course.
