- Engineers concerned about a tower's stability have done extensive studies of its increasing tilt. Measurements of the lean of the tower over time provide much useful information. The following table gives measurements for the years 1975 to 1987. The variable "lean" represents the difference between where a point on the tower would be if the tower were straight and where it actually is. The data are coded as tenths of a millimeter in excess of 2.9 meters, so that the 1975 lean, which was 2.9647 meters, appears in the table as 647. Only the last two digits of the year were entered into the computer. 80 83 86 75 76 77 78 647 649 660 672 79 81 82 84 85 678 693 701 703 717 722 729 747 (a) Plot the data.
