Todescribe:The error in fitting a model to the given data.
Answer to Problem 26E
The error is that the curve (line) for the model is drawn that not pass through maximum number of points.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The fitting curve to the given data is shown in figure here.
Conceptused:
The best fit curve to the data is that passes maximum number of points.
In the given graph the line is not the best fit line (model) because it does not passes maximum number of points corresponding to experimental data.
The error is that the curve (line) for the model is drawn that not pass through maximum number of points.
The best fit line or model is either of M1 and M2 shown in figure as they pass through maximum number of points.
Conclusion:
The error is that the curve (line) for the model is drawn that does not pass through maximum number of points.
