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.

- Ohm's law states that the voltage drop Vacross an ideal resistor is linearly proportional to the current i flowing through the resistor as V= iR. Where R is the resistance. However, real resistors may not always obey Ohm's law. Suppose that you perform some very precise experiments to measure the voltage drop and the corresponding current for a resistor. The following results suggest a curvilinear relationship rather than the straight line represented by Ohm's law. i -1 - 0.5 - 0.25 0.25 0.5 1 V -637 -96.5 -20.25 20.5 96.5 637 Instead of the typical linear regression method for analyzing such experimental data, fit a curve to the data to quantify the relationship.

The students were interviewed by the school counselor and their responses were recorded. The students were in grades 5 through 9 with ages ranging from 10 to 15. The mean age was 12.6 for both the boys and the girls. The following table gives the average interest ratings for the two groups on 25 topics.
