Use the best-fitting exponential model to determine the answer to each question. (For problems using calendar years, “reset the clock” so that t = 0 in the year for which you first have data.)
Exercise
The success of a major league baseball team is frequently tied very closely to the quality of its pitching staff. The relief pitchers (the “bullpen”) come in the game to pitch when a pitcher tires or gets in trouble. The table gives the ERA (earned run average) and the number of games saved by the bullpen of the Atlanta Braves over various seasons between 1969 and 2005.
ERA | 2.60 | 3.73 | 5.11 | 3.06 | 4.22 |
Games saved | 57 | 41 | 24 | 49 | 32 |

If the Braves bullpen had an ERA of 6.50 (a very bad ERA), how many games would you expect them to save in a season?
