Bighorn sheep are beautiful wild animals found throughout the western United States. Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) for this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died. A random sample of Arizona bighorn sheep gave the following information: x 1 2 3 4 5 y 14.2 17.7 14.4 19.6 20.0 Σx = 15; Σy = 85.9; Σx2 = 55; Σy2 = 1,506.45; Σxy = 271.2 (a) Find x, y, b, and the equation of the least-squares line. (Round your answers for x and y to two decimal places. Round your least-squares estimates to three decimal places.) x = y = b = ŷ = + x (b) Draw a scatter diagram for the data. Plot the least-squares line on your scatter diagram. (c) Find the sample correlation coefficient r and the coefficient of determination r2. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) r = r2 = What percentage of variation in y is explained by the least-squares model? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) %

2. In the mid-19th century, Sir Francis Galton demonstrated, through extensive data collection, that many human characteristics such as height and IQ are distributed throughout the entire population in accordance with the normal distribution. Galton recorded the heights of 8585 men in Great Britain. This forms a normal distribution with mean u = 67 inches and standard deviation o = 2.5inches.
