The risk of a person developing heart disease is correlated with their BMI (or body mass index), which is
calculated by dividing their body mass by their height (high BMIS typically mean the person is overweight). Heart
disease is also related to a person's level of activity. Suppose a person's BMI is x and their physical activity is y
(measured, for example, in minutes of exercise each day). Let h be a heart disease risk index (high values of h
mean high risk of heart disease, low values of h mean a low risk of heart disease). h depends on x and y, that is,
h3h(x,y). A simple linear model that only takes into account the effects of BMI and activity is
(a) Would you expect a > 0 or a < 0? What about b?
You would expect a 7o and b
0.
(b) To fit the values of a and b, consider the following data.
A patient with BMI of 15, and who does 50 min of activity each day, has risk index h = 150.
A patient with BMI of 30, and who does 30 min of activity each day, has risk index h = 405.

Ocean currents are important in studies of climate change, as well as ecology studies of dispersal of plankton. Drift bottles are used to study ocean currents in the Pacific near Hawaii, the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and other islands. Let x represent the number of days to recovery of a drift bottle after release and y represent the distance from point of release to point of recovery in km/100. The following data are representative of one study using drift bottles to study ocean currents.
