Question

Allometry is the study of the relative size of different parts of a body as a consequence of growth. In this problem, you will check the accuracy of an allometric equation: the weight of a fish is proportional to the cube of its length.¹ The table below relates the weight, , in gm, of plaice (a type of fish) to its length, , in cm.

Does this data support the hypothesis that (approximately) y=kx³? Yes

If so, estimate the constant of proportionality, k, to four decimal places. If not, enter NA in the entry area.
