Question:

The following data represent the length of a bass fish and its weight.

Length (in.) Weight (oz) 12.5 12.625 14.125 14.5 17.25 17.75 17 16.5 23 26.5 41 49

In Problems 6-12, construct a scatterplot of the given data. Is there a trend in the data? Are any of the data points outliers? Construct a divided difference table. Is smoothing with a low-order polynomial appropriate? If so, choose an appropriate polynomial and  fit using the least-squares criterion of best fit. Analyze the goodness of fit by examining appropriate indicators and graphing the model, the data points, and the deviations.
