In the article “The Human Vomeronasal Organ. Part II: Prenatal Development” (Journal of Anatomy, Vol. 197, Issue 3, pp. 421-436), T. Smith and K. Bhatnagar examined the controversial issue of the human vomeronasal organ, regarding its structure, function, and identity. The following table shows the age of fetuses (x), in weeks, and length of crown-rump (y), in millimeters. For part (g), predict the crown-rump length of a 19-week-old fetus.
Solution
VerifiedGiven:
(a) Let us first determine the necessary sums:
Next, we can determine and
The estimate of the slope is the ratio of and :
The mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of values:
The estimate of the intercept is the average of decreased by the product of the estimate of the slope and the average of .
