Common data set for Problems 1 and 2
The temperature in a region varies as in the following table:
\table[[Depth,2(m),0,0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0],[Temperature (C),70,68,55,22,13,11,10]]
Problem 1(Regression/curve fitting): The point at which the temperature-depth curve has zero curvature (i. e.)d2Tw2|z||=0 is called the thermocline. Fit a cubic polynomial for this (entire)||| dataset and using the same, solve for z0(the thermocline depth).
Problem 2(Numerical Integration): Determine the average temperature of the region defined as
(T)=13mx=0mx=3mT(z)dz
Use Simpspns's, 1/3 rule. Do the integration using the data from the table directly (use step length as per the data).
