Chapter 5, Problem 65CR
The article “Reduction is Soluble Protein and Chlorophyll Contents in a Few Plants as Indicators of Automobile Exhaust Pollution” (International Journal of Environmental Studies [1983]: 239–244) reported the following data on x = Distance from a highway (in meters) and y = Lead content of soil at that distance (in parts per million):
- a. Use a statistical computer package to construct
scatterplots of y versus x, y versus log(x), log(y) versus log(x), and - b. Which transformation considered in Part (a) does the best job of producing an approximately linear relationship? Use the selected transformation to predict lead content when distance is 25 m.

Plants emit gases that trigger the ripening of fruit, attract pollinators, and cue other physiological responses. A study examined factors that affect the emission of volatile compounds by a type of potato plant. The volatile compounds analyzed
were hydrocarbons used by other plants and animals. Following are data on plant weight (x), in grams, and quantity of volatile compounds emitted (y), in hundreds of nanograms, for 11 potato plants. Use this information to complete parts (a)
