The accompanying data table contains financial data for 30 random technology companies. One column gives the expenses on research and development?(R&D), and another gives the total assets of the 30 companies. Both of these columns are reported in millions of dollars. The data need to be expressed on a log?scale; otherwise, two outlying companies dominate the analysis. Use the natural logs of both variables rather than the original variables in the data table.?(Note that the variables are recorded in?millions, so ?1,000=1 ?billion.) Complete parts?(a) through?(c).
