Which statement is most strongly supported by the data? (a)

g

changes concavity somewhere between

x=3

and

x=4

. (b) The data are insufficient to determine whether

g

changes concavity on

1\le x\le5

. (c)

g

changes concavity somewhere between

x=2

and

x=3

. (d)

g

is concave up on

1\le x\le3

and concave down on

3\le x\le5
