a.
Use a graphing utility to create a
a.
Answer to Problem 86E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The numbers of confirmed cases of Lyme disease in Maine from
Use a graphing utility to create a scatter plot of the data
Calculation:
Consider the given table,
Using a graphing utility to create a scatter plot.
Hence, the solution is plot.
b.
Find a quadratic model for the data.
b.
Answer to Problem 86E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The numbers of confirmed cases of Lyme disease in Maine from
Use the regression feature of the graphing utility to find a quadratic model for the data. Graph the model in the same viewing window as the scatter plot.
Calculation:
Use the regression feature of the graphing utility to find a quadratic model for the data
Using a graphing utility to create a scatter plot.
Hence, the solution is plot and
c.
Compare the model with the original data.
c.
Answer to Problem 86E
There is lot of variance between the model and original data.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The numbers of confirmed cases of Lyme disease in Maine from
Use the model to create a table of estimated values of
Calculation:
The model to create a table of estimated values of
From the table it is clear that there is lot of variance between the model and original data.
Hence, the solution is shown in table.
