The file scrippsm.txt, available from the textbook website, is a list of 180 numbers which represent the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide, in parts per million by volume (ppv), recorded monthly at Mauna Loa from Jan, 1996 to Dec. 2010, taken from the same Scripps study as Computer Problem 8.
a. Carry out a least squares fit of the
b. Use your model to predict the
c. Add the extra term
d. Repeat part (c) using the extra term
e. Add both terms from (c) and (d) and redo parts (a) and (b). Prepare a table summarizing your results from all parts of the problem, and try to provide an explanation for the results. See the website http://scrippsco2.ucsd.edu for much more data and analysis of the Scripps carbon dioxide study.

- In Galton’s height data (Figure 7.1, in Section 7.1), the least-squares line for predictingforearm length (y) from height (x) is y = −0.2967 + 0.2738x.a) Predict the forearm length of a man whose height is 70 in.b) How tall must a man be so that we would predict his forearm length to be 19 in.?c) All the men in a certain group have heights greater than the height computed in part(b). Can you conclude that all their forearms will be at least 19 in. long?

- Consider the following two a.m. peak work trip generation models, estimated by household linear regression: T = 0.62 + 3.1 X1 + 1.4 X2 R2= 0.590 (2.3) (7.1) (5.9) T = 0.01 + 2.4 X1 + 1.2 Z1 + 4.0 Z2 R2= 0.598 (0.8) (4.2) (1.7) (3.1) X1 = number of workers in the household X2 = number of cars in the household, Z1 is a dummy variable which takes the value 1 if the household has one car, Z2 is a dummy variable which takes the value 1 if the household has two or more cars. 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_forwardFor the following data set: x 3.9 6.1 4.6 3.7 1.8 3.3 3.4 y 4.2 4.7 5.7 4.5 9.6 5.2 4.3 Part 1 of 4 (a) Compute the least-squares regression line.
