Prac�cal Exercises: Prac�cal work to be performed using Excel spreadsheets for the
modeling of the following type of problems:
• The data given below measures shoe length (to the nearest quarter of an inch) and height (to
the nearest half inch) of ten persons, to determine if there is a rela�onship between shoe
length and height of a person. Graph Height vs. Shoe Length and fit a straight line to the data.
How well does this model fit the data?

• The table below contains the total length and weight of 10 black bears. Graph weight vs. length,
fit different linearizable models to the data, and select the one that best fits the data. Explain.

• Consider a disease such as the common cold where a person is not immune once they are
‘healed.’ Once healed, a person becomes suscep�ble again. Such a disease could be modeled
with an SIS model. Implement your model in an Excel worksheet to describe the spread of the
