DATA ANALYSIS: OCEAN TEMPERATURES An oceanographer took readings of the water temperatures (in degrees Celsius) at several depths (in meters). The data collected are shown in the table. (a) Sketch a scatter plot of the data. (b) Does it appear that the data can be modeled by the inverse variation model If so, find for each pair of coordinates. (c) Determine the mean value of from part (b) to find the inverse variation model (d) Use a graphing utility to plot the data points and the inverse model from part (c). (e) Use the model to approximate the depth at which the water temperature is C. 3 C k d. k C k d? k C d v h m W d v d 1 4 s. v 1.5 p 4.1, q 6.3, s 1.2. v qp z 6 x 6 y 4. z x y.
