Chapter 4.5, Problem 34SBE

Logarithmic Regression Logarithmic regression finds a function of the form $y=a+b\ln x$ to fit data. In Exercises S-34 through S-37, use logarithmic regression to model the data. (See Appendices B and C for the steps needed to execute this procedure.) Plot the data along with the graph of the regression equation.

$x$	3	6	8	15	17
$y$	$5.1$	$7.2$	$8.1$	$11.3$	$11.1$
