The data in the accompanying table give the prices (in dollars) for gold link chains at the Web site of a discount jeweler. The data include the length of the chain (in inches) and its width (in millimeters). All of the chains are 14-carat gold in a similar link style. Use the price as the response. For one explanatory variable, use the width of the chain. For the second, calculate the "volume" of the chain as π times its length...
