Fitting Linear Models to Data · Exercise 120

Consider this scenario: The population of a city increased steadily over a ten-year span. The following ordered pairs shows the population (in hundreds) and the year over the ten-year span, (population, year) for specific recorded years:

$(4, 500, 2000); (4, 700, 2001); (5, 200, 2003); (5, 800, 2006)$

Use linear regression to determine a function y, where the year depends on the population. Round to three decimal places of accuracy.
