Get started for freeBrawn versus brain How is the weight of an animal's brain related to the weight of its body?
Researchers collected data on the brain weight (in grams) and body weight (in kilograms) for species of mammals. The figure below is a scatterplot of the logarithm of brain weight against the logarithm of body weight for all species. The least-squares regression line for the transformed data is
Based on footprints and some other sketchy evidence, some people think that a large apelike animal, called Sasquatch or Bigfoot, lives in the Pacific Northwest. His weight is estimated to be about pounds, or kilograms. How big is Bigfoot’s brain? Show your method clearly
Beer and BAC How well does the number of beers a person drinks predict his or her blood alcohol content (BAC)? Sixteen volunteers with an initial BAC of drank a randomly assigned number of cans of beer. Thirty minutes later, a police officer measured their BAC. Least-squares regression was performed on the data. A residual plot and a histogram of the residuals are shown below. Check whether the conditions for performing inference about the regression model are met.
A large machine is filled with thousands of small
pieces of candy, of which are orange. When money
is deposited, the machine dispenses randomly selected
pieces of candy. The machine will be recalibrated if a
group of candies contains fewer than that are
orange. What is the approximate probability that this will
happen?
