Question

Bighorn sheep are found in the mountainous western United States.  In the following data, x = the age of bighorn sheep in years and y = the percentage of that age group that die during the course of a year (mortality rate).  In the table below, when x = 5, y = 20 meaning that 20% of the sheep aged between 5 and 6 years old die.  A random sample of sheep provided the following information:

x 1 2 3 4 5
y 14 18.9 14.4 19.6 20

 

∑ x = 15 ; ∑ y = 86.9 ; ∑ x 2 = 55 ; ∑ y 2 = 1544.73 ; ∑ x y = 273.4
