To find the value of a, we need to first identify the relationship between X and Y. Looking at the table, we can see that as X increases, Y also generally increases.
Let's plot the data points on a graph to visualize this relationship:
X | Y
-----------
1 | 1
3 | 2
4 | 4
6 | 4
8 | 5
9 | 7
11 | 8
14 | 9
From the graph, we can see that the relationship between X and Y is not linear, but instead appears to be exponential or logarithmic.
To determine the specific equation that represents this relationship, we can use a curve fitting method such as polynomial regression or exponential regression. However, since the options do not provide the equation or specify the regression method to be used, we cannot directly calculate the value of a.
Therefore, without additional information or context, we cannot determine the value of a from the given table.
For the following table
