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:
- SALES (This represents sales of a pharmaceutical company over a 6 year span)
- 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)
- 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)
- GRAVITY (This describes Galileo's famous "thought experiment" about falling bodies on the basis of which he formulated his principle of uniform acceleration)
- MYPLOT (This is a plot for you to experiment with.)
