In the following data, X represents the diameter of a ponderosa pine measured at breast height, and Y is a measure of volume—number of board feet divided by 10. Make a scatterplot of the data. Discuss the appropriateness of using a 13th-degree polynomial that passes through the data points as an empirical model. If you have a computer available, fit a polynomial to the data and graph the results.
