In forestry, the diameter of a tree at breast height is used to model the height of the tree. Silviculturists working in British Columbia’s boreal forest conducted a series of spacing trials to predict the heights of several species of trees. The data are the breast height diameters (in centimeters) and heights (in meters) for a sample of 18 white spruce trees.

The sample mean number of hours of sleep per student at Groveland is 7.1 hours, and the standard deviation is 1.7 hours.
