The Data Below Are the Gestation Periods, in Months, of Randomly

question 101

Short Answer

The data below are the gestation periods, in months, of randomly selected animals and their corresponding life
spans, in years. Use the regression equation to predict the life span, y, for a gestation period of 6 months, x.
Assume the variables x and y have a significant correlation. $$\begin{array} { l | l l l l l l l l } \text { Gestation, } \mathrm { x } & 8 & 2.1 & 1.3 & 1 & 11.5 & 5.3 & 3.8 & 24.3 \\\hline \text { Life span, } \mathrm { y } & 30 & 12 & 6 & 3 & 25 & 12 & 10 & 40\end{array}$$
