First, practice reading the data table. For the eighth observation (i = 8), what are x_i and y_i? For which phylum are these data?

The term genome describes the summation of all the hereditary material present in an organism’s cell. The DNA comprises information for controlling the life process of the organism.

The DNA is transcripted into mRNA and some small RNAs, such as tRNA, miRNA, and rRNA, for initiation of message decoding.

The biotic components of the world have great diversity, with organisms ranging from one-celled microscopic form to macroscopic form with billions of cells in their body.

Among these diverse forms, the Kingdom Animalia refers to the multi-cellular organisms that have heterotrophic nutrition and the ability to inhabit land as well as water.

In experimental studies, the observations are noted down and arranged in tabular form to enhance understanding and further interpretations. The data table mentioned in the above statement comprises a total of 11 observations.

The eighth observation (the observation with value i=8) has its own set of values for xi and yi; these are 25 and 77 respectively for xi and yi. The data present in the eighth observation is for the phylum Urochordata.
