Consider two river streams flowing past an industrial plant. Let A denote the
event that stream a is polluted, and B denote that stream b is polluted. It is
determined from historical observations that

Table 3 shows a range of voltage values applied across a diode together with
measurements of the corresponding value of current flowing through the diode.
Use regression techniques to find the ideality factor of the diode and calculate
the maximum error of a linear interpolation in the 0.9-1 V range compared to
the fitted value.
