life without their physical capture and handling. In a recent study of
bobcat (Lynx rufus) abundance, camera traps were placed at varying
distances from a road. The data on trapping success from 8 trapping
stations are presented in the table at right. The trapping success is
Remote camera trapping is used to detect and monitor elusive wild- defined as the number of captures per 100 trap-nights.
-Hemorrhagic disease in white-tailed deer is caused by a virus known as EHD.
Immunity is given to fawns by transfer of EHD antibodies from the mother. In a
study to determine how long the maternal antibodies last, blood samples were taken
from a large sample of fawns of varying ages. The mean levels of EHD antibody
concentration and the associated ages of fawns are given in the table below.
After using the data to fit a straight line model, Eˆ = a + bW , significant curvature was
detected in the residual plot. Two nonlinear models were chosen for further analysis,
the exponential and the power models. (For these data, common logs were used to
perform the transformations.) The computer output for these models is given below,
and the residual plots are on the next page.

a) For the exponential model, calculate the predicted logarithm of the EHD antibody
concentration for an age of 5 weeks.
b) Generally speaking, which of the two models, power or exponential, is a better
choice for predicting the logarithm of the EHD antibody concentration? Provide
statistical justification for your choice based on both the residual plot and the
numerical summary statistics above.
c) The researchers want use their model to predict EHD antibody concentrations for
fawns up to 24 weeks of age. Do you think this would be reasonable? Explain
why or why not.
