A curve connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure on a weather map is called an isobar. On a typical weather map the isobars refer to pressure at mean sea level and are given in units of millibars (mb). Mathematically, isobars are level curves for the pressure function
(a) Referring to the accompanying weather map, is the wind speed greater in Medicine Hat, Alberta or in Chicago? Explain your reasoning.
(b) Estimate the average rate of change in atmospheric pressure (in mb/mi) from Medicine Hat to Chicago. given that the distance between the two cities is approximately 1400 mi.

Cigarette smoking involves tar, carbon monoxide, and nicotine (measured in milligrams). The first two are definitely not good for a person's health, and the last ingredient can cause addiction. Use the data in the table above to make a stem-and-leaf display for milligrams of nicotine per cigarette smoked. In this case, truncate the measurements at the tenths position and use two lines per stem. (Enter NONE in any unused answer blanks.)arrow_forward
