Chapter 8.3, Problem 8.39ACI
Solar energy generation along highways. The potential of using solar panels constructed above national highways to generate energy was explored in the International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering (December 2013). Two-layer solar panels (with 1 meter separating the panels) were constructed above sections of both east-west and north-south highways in India. The amount of energy (kilowatt-hours) supplied to the country’s grid by the solar panels above the two types of highways was determined each month. The data for several randomly selected months are provided in the table. The researchers concluded that the “two-layer solar panel energy generation is more viable for the north-south oriented highways as compared to east-west oriented roadways.” Compare the
| Month | East-West | North-South |
| February | 8658 | 8921 |
| April | 7930 | 8317 |
| July | 5120 | 5274 |
| September | 6862 | 7148 |

- A study conducted at the University of Denver investigated whether babies take longer to learn to crawl in cold months, when they are often bundled in clothes that restrict their movement, than in warmer months. Infants born during the study year were split into twelve groups, one for each birth month.

Temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit and age is measured in weeks. 34 33 32 31 30- 29 30 40 50 60 70 Temperature (F) a) Describe the relationship between temperature and crawling age.
