Items for Report 1. Use the given data to estimate the rate of change of atmospheric pressure with respect to altitude at different heights over the range covered by the data. Include a table in your response. 2. Construct a function that models the given pressure-altitude data. Create a plot that includes both (a) the model function and (b) the data. Explain briefly how you chose your model function, including the values of any parameters. 3. Use your model function (from Part 2) to compute a formula for the rate of change of atmospheric pressure with respect to altitude. 4. Together on the same plot, show the rate of change of atmospheric pressure with respect to altitude as (i) estimated directly from the data (Part 1) and (ii) computed with the model function (Part 3). 5. Compare the rate of change you estimated directly from the data (Part 4.i) with the rate of change you computed from the model function (Part 4.ii). Use this comparison to assess your model function.
