Kindly show all the steps in solving.
8.20. * A student measures the pressure P of a gas at five different temperatures T, keeping the volume constant. His results are shown in Table 8.8. His data should Table 8.8. Temperature (in °C) versus Pressure (in mm of mercury); for Problem 8.20. "x": Pressure P "y": Temperature T 79 8 82 17 85 30 88 37 90 52 fit a straight line of the form T = A + BP, where A is the absolute zero of tempera- ture (whose accepted value is – 273°C). Find the best fit to the student's data and hence his best estimate for absolute zero and its uncertainty.
