19. You might think that increasing the resources
available would elevate the number of plant spe-
cies that an area could support, but the evidence
suggests otherwise. The data in the accompany-
ing table are from the Park Grass Experiment at
Rothamsted Experimental Station in the U.K.,
where grassland field plots have been fertilized
annually for the past 150 years (collated by
Harpole and Tilman 2007). The number of plant
species recorded in 10 plots is given in response
to the number of different nutrient types added

Beachcomber Ltd in a local car dealership that sells used and new vehicles. The manager of thecompany wants to know how different variables affect the sales of his vehicles. A random sample ofyearly data was taken with the view to testing the model:SALES=?+?AGE+?MIL+?ENGWhere SALES= amount that a vehicle is sold for($000’s), AGE = age of the vehicle, MIL= the totalmileage of the vehicle at the point of sale and ENG = the size of the engine.

A company provides maintenance service for water-filtration systems throughout southern Florida. Customers contact the company with requests for maintenance service on their water-filtration systems.

Hence, repair time in hours is the dependent variable.
