The amount of waste per person consists of industrial waste, sewage waste and demolition waste. Now it is given the data for amount of waste per person as per the year.
Year | 1980 | 1985 | 1990 | 1991 | 1992 | 1993 | 1994 | 1995 | 1996 | 2001 |
Pound of waste per person | 3.7 | 3.8 | 4.5 | 4.4 | 4.5 | 4.5 | 4.5 | 4.4 | 4.3 | 4.4 |
Now we plot the graph below,
Here we can see that the graph initially increases and then decrease and then increase. So it changes direction two times. So it is a cubic function. But the model can vary and give wrong result because the
