The variables are x 5 acid extractable cations and y 5 exchangeable acidity/total cation exchange capacity (“Exchangeable Acidity in Unburnt Colliery Spoil,” Nature, 1969: 161):
x | -5 | 16 | 26 | 30 | 38 | 52 | |
y | 1.50 | 1.46 | 1.32 | 1.17 | .96 | .78 | .77 |

Compare the two models and choose the best. If a zone has 1000 households, of which 50% have no car, 35% have one car, and the rest have exactly two cars, estimate the total number of trips generated by this zone. Use the preferred trip generation model and assume that each household has an average of two workersarrow_forward
