Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 2P
The solar radiation for Tucson, Arizona, has been tabulated as
Time, mo | J | F | M | A | M | J | J | A | S | O | N | D |
Radiation,

144 | 188 | 245 | 311 | 351 | 359 | 308 | 287 | 260 | 211 | 159 | 131 |
Assuming each month is 30 days long, fit a sinusoid to these data. Use the resulting equation to predict the radiation in mid-August.
