question 40

Short Answer

Compute the Standard Error of the Estimate
-In a study of feeding behavior, zoologists recorded the number of grunts of a warthog feeding by a lake in the 15 minute period following the addition of food. The data showing the number of grunts and the age of the warthog (in days) are listed below. Compute the standard error, the point estimate for o.
$\begin{array}{cl}\hline \text { Number of Grunts, y } & \text { Age (days), x } \\\hline 97 & 125 \\75 & 141 \\46 & 155 \\51 & 160 \\70 & 167 \\47 & 174 \\69 & 183 \\24 & 189 \\29 & 195 \\\hline\end{array}$
