Question 1: An origin-destination survey in 10 travel-analysis
zones provided the following data relating to zonal residential
densities (households/acre) and average daily trip productions per
household. Calibrate and plot a model of the form Y=a+bX. Do you
think the calibrated model is acceptable and why? (The use of Excel
or a similar tool is suggested, but the manual calculation is
acceptable).
Density X: 42 5 25 10 4 15 20 12 14

Trip rate Y: 1.5 4.0 2.1 2.6 4.8 2.0 2.5 3.3 1.9 2.0
