c) International tourists often visit Hawaii in January. How can you tell that from this model?

d) Even though the for this model is lower than the corresponding for the model fit in Exercise 39 to domestic tourist visits, you might feel more comfortable predicting the number of international visitors for April 2007 with this model than you did predicting the number of domestic visitors with the previous model. Explain why.
