Concept explainers
The table gives the average gestation period for selected animals and their corresponding average longevity.
a. Graph the data in a
b. Use the data points (44, 8.5) and (620, 35) to write a linear function that defines longevity
c. Interpret the meaning of the slope in the context of this problem.
d. Use the model from part (b) to predict the longevity for an animal with an 80-day gestation period. Round to the nearest year.
