Suppose Wesley is a marine biologist who is interested in the relationship between the age and the size of male Dungeness crabs.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

20.24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, since the age of the crab is given in months and the regression line was computed using the age in months, we just have to replace the value of the age in the formula to estimate the size.

The formula obtained for the estimated size Y was

Y = 9.1411 + 0.4775X  

where X is the age in months

Replacing X with 23.2417, we get

Y = 9.1411 + 0.4775*23.2417 = 20.24 cm

3. Which temperature during the week is the closest to 0? Explain how you decided this using absolute value.
Katen [24]

Answer:

The closest temperature to zero during the week is -0.5 °F because it's absolute value, 0.5, is smaller than the other numbers.

The farthest temperature from zero during the week is 5 °F because it's absolute value, 5, is the highest out of all the other numbers.

Answer: The coldest temperature would be -4 °F, because it is the farthest number on the left side of zero on the number line.15-May-2020

The warmest temperature would be 5 °F, because it is the farthest number on the right side of zero on the number line.
