Re: 1213.7 lbs? We will see...




Joe.........

What's the R squared on that linear regression?  Is it really a linear fit?

I did some number crunching and came up with a rough estimate of what 2001
might produce.

I predict that this year's largest pumpkin will weigh 1213.7 lbs.  This
estimate is based on a linear plot of previous year's records dating back
to 1990.  I personally believe that number is a little high, but the
numbers don't lie.  Maybe if I create a plot using spline
approximization...
