You probably know that ozone in the upper atmosphere protects Earth from ultraviolet radiation, but ozone near the ground is harmful and a major component of air pollution.
The table below provides maximum and minimum surface-level ozone concentrations in
parts per million (ppm) in the Los Angeles Basin area for several months during 2012.

Use the data to find an equation that models the average ozone level by month and use it
to predict the average level for the months of February, April, September, and November of
2012.
