The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) is based primarily on the amount of material ejected from a volcano, although other factors play a role as well, such as height of plume in the atmosphere. The following table shows the number of volcanic eruptions (N) over the past 10,000 years having a VEI of between 2 and 7.
There are also VEI values of 0, 1, and 8. There is a level 0 volcano erupting somewhere on the Earth essentially all the time. There are one or more level 1 volcanoes essentially every day. The last known level 8 volcano was about 26 000 years ago
- a. Show the resulting data trendline, with equation and R2 value, on the appropriate graph type (xy scatter, semilog, or log–log) to make the data appear linear
- b. How many level 1 volcanoes does the model predict should have occurred in the last 10,000 years?
- c. How many level 8 volcanoes does the model predict should have occurred in the last 10,000 years?

The purpose of the research is to identify the optimum air-fuel ratio for the combustion process in a boiler under varying conditions of air supply and quality of fuel. The study would involve design of experiments, data collection and analysis, simulation of the different variables and validation of the optimum parameters. There is a lot of pressure to improve the energy efficiency as there is a forecast of fuel price rise in the forthcoming month.
