Question
the table gives an estimate of the amount of oil left, in x trillion barrels, in various years (t)
T. 1940. 1950. 1960. 1970. 1980. 1990. 2000. 2010
x ,3.42 , 3.21,3.05,2.76,2.41,2.15,1.82,1.21
Comment on the validity of the linear model.
Im not sure how to answer this question. Am I supposed to explain why it might not be practical to use this data to predict future oil amounts? Thank you!
