Question: Starting in 2005, a chain of events, including the war in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, and the expanding economies in India and China, lead to a sharp increase in fuel costs. As a result, the U.S. airline industry has been hit hard financially, with many airlines declaring bankruptcy. Some airlines are substituting smaller planes on certain routes in an attempt to reduce fuel costs. As an analyst for one of the major airlines, you have been asked to analyze the relationship between passenger capacity and fuel consumption per hour. Data for 19 commonly flown planes is presented in the file called Airplanes. Develop the appropriate graph to illustrate the relationship between fuel consumption per hour and passenger capacity. Discuss.
