چکیده
Following the Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) recommendation to use real data, an example is presented in which simple linear regression is used to evaluate the effect of the Montreal Protocol on atmospheric concentration of chlorofluorocarbons.

A description of the use of these data and analyses are presented for a number of courses in applied statistics including introductory statistics.
