Question 3
How does the curve of best fit for Boston compare to the curve of best fit for San Diego? Why?

Check Answer

Answer: Both curves are periodic functions. The sinusoidal curve for Boston is a better fit than the curve for San Diego, since the curve passes through more of the points and the difference between actual and expected is much smaller. If the family were to make predictions of temperature based on the curves, the Boston curve should be more accurate.
