Title: Process Models

Book Description: In this lab, there are 5 scatter plots to be modeled using the techniques described in lab 3. For some of the plots linear models will be appropriate, and for others, we shall have to do a bit more work. The scatter plots are:

  1. SALES (This represents sales of a pharmaceutical company over a 6 year span)
  2. INCLINED (This describes the relationship between the time required for a ball to roll down an inclined plane and the length of the base of the plane, the height being kept constant)
  3. PENDULUM (This describes the relationship between the speed of a pendulum bob at the lowest point of its descent, and the height from which it fell)
  4. GRAVITY (This describes Galileo's famous "thought experiment" about falling bodies on the basis of which he formulated his principle of uniform acceleration)
  5. MYPLOT (This is a plot for you to experiment with.)
