(b) The data in Table 1 show the average growth of 7 cherry trees since being planted. At the time of planting, the trees were one year old and were all 1.8m in height. Table 1: Average height of trees as a function of time If the age of the trees is related to height via a logarithmic formula h=Cln(t)+λ, find the values of the regression coefficients C and λ, then use them to estimate the average height of the trees at (i) age 1.5 years and (ii) age 15 years.
