In this activity, you will create function models based on U.S. Census data for one of the 100 largest cities in the United States. U.S. Census data are available at www. census.gov.

From the census data for 1990, select the .will largest city, where .x and y are the last two digits of your student identification number. This is your city. (For example, if your student ID number ends in 37. you should find the data for the 37th largest city in the United States, if your ID number ends in 00, choose the 100th largest city.) Record the populations for your city in 1950,1960,1970, 1980, and 1990.

1. Find the best-fitting linear model for your population data, using years after 1950 as the independent variable.


2. Calculate the SSE for your linear model and the average error in the approximation.
