Tail-feather length in birds is sometimes a sexually dimorphic trait. That is, the trait differs substantially for males and for females. Researchers studied the relationship between weight (x) and tail-feather length (y) in a sample of five wild, male long-tailed finches. Here are the data and software output:
Simple linear regression results:
Dependent Variable: tail length
Independent Variable: weight
tail length weight
Sample size: 5
(correlation coefficient
Estimate of error standard deviation:
Parameter estimates:
What would be the predicted tail-feather length of a male long-tailed finch weighing 30 g?
A) 109.961 mm
B) 78.9 mm
C) We shouldn't make this prediction because the relationship is not linear.
D) We shouldn't make this prediction because it requires extrapolation.
