Northern flying squirrels eat lichen and fungi, which makes for a relatively low quality diet. The authors of the paper "Nutritional Value and Diet Preference of Arboreal Lichens and Hypogeous Fungi for Small Mammals in the Rocky Mountains" + measured nitrogen intake and nitrogen retention in six flying squirrels that were fed the fungus Rhizopogon. Data read from a graph that appeared in the paper are given in the table below. (The negative value for nitrogen retention for the first squirrel represents a net loss in nitrogen.) Nitrogen Intake, x (grams) 0.03 0.10 0.07 0.06 0.07 0.25 (a) Construct a scatterplot of these data. y 0.10 0.05 -0.05 y 0.10 0.05 -0.05 0.05 0.10 g 0.05 0.10 Nitrogen Retention, y (grams) -0.04 0.00 0.01 0.01 0.04 0.11 g + 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.15 ●● 0.20 0.25 X y 0.10 0.05 -0.05 y 0.10 0.05 -0.05 (b) Find the equation of the least-squares regression line.

The article "Estimating Population Abundance in Plant Species with Dormant Life-Stages: Fire and the Endangered Plant Grevillea caleye R Br." (T. Auld and J. Scott, Ecological Management and Restoration, 2004:125-129) presents estimates of population sizes of a certain rare shrub in areas burnt by fire. The following table presents population counts and areas (in m?) for several patches containing the plant.

Does the model seem appropriate? Using the more appropriate model, construct a 95% prediction interval for the…
The authors of a paper compared two different methods for measuring body fat percentage. One method uses ultrasound, and the other method uses X-ray technology. Body fat percentages using each of these methods for 16 athletes (a subset of the data given in a graph that appeared in the paper) are given in the accompanying table. You can assume that the 16 athletes who participated in this study are representative of the population of athletes. Athlete X-ray Ultrasound 1 5.00 4.25 2 16.00 12.75 3 9.25 9.00 4 12.00 11.75 5 17.25 17.00 6 29.50 27.50 7 5.50 6.50 8 6.00 6.75 9 8.00 8.75 10 9.50 10.50 11 9.25 9.50 12 11.00 12.00 13 12.00 12.25 14 14.00 15.50 15 17.00 18.00 16 18.00 18.25 Use these data to estimate the difference in mean body fat percentage measurement for the two methods. Use a confidence level of 95%. (Use ?d = ?X-ray − ?ultrasound. Round your answers to three decimal places.)     ,     % Interpret the interval in context.…
