Air Pollution Monitors Narrative
An experiment was designed to compare several different types of air pollution monitors. Each monitor was set up and then exposed to different concentrations of ozone, ranging between 15 and 230 parts per million (ppm), for periods of 8-72 hours. Filters on the monitor were then analyzed, and the response of the monitor was measured. The results for one type of monitor showed a linear pattern. The results for another type of monitor are listed in the table.
-Refer to Air Pollution Monitors Narrative. Find the least-squares regression equation relating the monitor's response to the ozone concentration.
