What makes it possible to make this prediction? Provide answers in the text mode in full English sentences after you are done working with Maple commands. (e) Graph the scatter diagram and the graph of the best fit function together. Include an appropriate title. (f) Reflect on the model: Do you observe a steady increase or decrease in a number of live births given by females over 40 in Canada over the last decades? What do you think might account for this? Research this online and describe your findings in addition to stating your own opinion (write at least one paragraph; may include images). (j) More Thinking: What do you think is more reliable: (1) making your predictions far beyond the span (or the range) of 1974 2005; or (2) making predictions within the span (or the range) of a discrete set of given data points or just a little beyond it?
