Question
A scatter diagram of the data in the table above is shown in the figure below. The scatter diagram shows a strong linear correlation. (You didn't expect a perfect linear correlation, did you? After all, we are working with camels, dogs, and adult men.) Although we have
considered only three species, Alexander and Jayes were able to showa strong linear correlation for several species.

Finally it is time to estimate the speed of a dinosaur. Consider a large theropod with a leg length of 2.5 m. If the theropod's fossilized footprints show a stride length of 5 m, then its relative stride length is
= 2. The least-squares regression line in the figure above
2.5 m
shows that a relative stride length of 2 has a dimensionless speed of about 0.8. If we use 2.5 m for the leg length and 0.8 for dimensionless speed and solve equation (II) for speed, we get
Speed = (dimensionless speed)Vleg length x g
= (0.8) V2.5 x 9.8
* 4.0 m/s.
