To work with more manageable values, let W=V/100 000W=V/100\,000 The manager considers an exponential model W=Abt−1W=A b^{t-1} and a power model W=CtpW=Ct^p

(a)

For the exponential model, determine the fitted values of AA and bb and the Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient for the linearized data. Give your answers to three significant figures.

(b)

For the power model, determine the fitted values of CC and pp and the Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient for the linearized data. Give your answers to three significant figures.
