Problem 1: Cloud storage prediction cost: Our software application generates data on a monthly basis and stores this data in cloud storage, together with the data from the previous months. We are given the following bills for cloud storage, and would like to estimate the running costs for the first year of using it:
Months using cloud storage | Monthly bill in euros |
1 | 120.00 |
2 | 131.20 |
3 | 142.10 |
4 | 152.90 |
5 | 164.30 |
1 to 12 | ? |
Problem 2: Fahrenheit and Celsius conversion: In the example that we looked at earlier in this chapter, we devised a formula for converting degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius. Devise a formula converting degrees Celsius into degrees Fahrenheit.
Problem 3: Flight time duration prediction based on distance: Why do you think that a linear regression model resulted in an estimation of the speed of 1,192 km/h, as opposed to the real speed of about 850 km/h? Can you suggest a way to better model the estimation of the flight duration based on flight distances and times?
Problem 4: Bacteria...
