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 5 wild male long-tailed finches. Here are the data:
Using appropriate software to perform the necessary calculations, what does the value of the slope for the least-squares regression line tells us?
A) For every 1 g change in weight, tail length increases by 0.280 mm, on average.
B) For every 1 g change in weight, tail length increases by 2.81 mm, on average.
C) For every 1g change in weight, tail length increases by 0.789 mm, on average.
D) For every 1 g change in weight, tail length increases by 25.547 mm, on average.
