This Lab is Under Construction

The size of a diamond can described by its dimensions (x, y, and z) and by its weight (usually expressed in carats). We are going to investigate the relationship between these two descriptions.

As you might imagine, the shape of a diamond matters. The data set below lists "round cut" diamonds which have a highly (but maybe not entirely) consistent shape. If diamonds were cut as cylinders or as cones, the relationship would undoubtedly be different. That said, if you know the shape of the diamond, and its dimensions, and its density, you should be able to compute its weight.
