Extracted text: 2. Lumber cutters wish to use readily available measurements to estimate the number of board feet of lumber in a tree. Assume they measure the diameter of the tree in inches at waist height. Assume also that all trees are right-circular cylinders and are approximately the same height. Develop a model that predicts board feet as a function of diameter in inches. Use the following data for your test: diameter of a tree in inches (x) number of board feet divided by 10 (y) | 19 25 32 57 71 113 | 123 252 259 294 17 19 20 23 25 28 32 38 39 41
