Write an equation that models the number of active clusters as a function of the number of years since 1990
Year 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000
Active clusters 20 28 34 40 42 48 52 56 63
------------------------
I paired 2 with 20, 3 with 28, etc
------
I ran a linear regression program on the data and got the following:
y = 5x + 12.56
---------------
You might also run a quadratic and/or a cubit regression program
on the data to see what they look like.
