To estimate ages of trees, forest rangers use a linear model that relates tree diameter
to age. The model is useful because tree diameter is much easier to measure than tree
age (which requires special tools for extracting a representative cross section of the
tree and counting the rings). Use the data in the table below collected for a certain
variety of oaks to answer the following questions.

The bad news, says CDC is that average BMI (body mass index, a weight-for-height formula used to measure obesity) has increased among adults...” Boston is considered one of America’s healthiest cities – is the weight gain since 1960 similar in Boston? A sample of n=28 adults suggested a mean increase of 19.5 pounds over the mean recorded in 1960 with a standard deviation of 8.6 pounds.
