solution. Koweverj if one were to level vdth. the interpolated data, the re- 

 sults would be almost indistinguishable, because the vectors E for both 

 cases £.gree to c/c least 5 significant figures. Hence tlie solutions agree. 



Thus in a repetition of this problem, missing data could dimply be averaged 



* 



at the start. The column vector B for Set 2 for the czis.e in which N-, is 



assumed to be zero is given by 



/ 768,420. 609 \ 

 B :^ 1, 184, 879o 288 

 \ 26, 637.989 / 

 and if the interpolated points are used, B for Set 2 i,; ^'ive:i by 



768,440. 13 \ 

 B ::^ I 1, 184, 901. 39 



26, 638o49 / 



The missing data for Set 3 under the a-ssumption that N-'j, is aero at 

 each of the missing points is given by
