In forestry, the diameter of a tree at breast height (which isfairly easy to measure) is used to predict the height of the tree(a difficult measurement to obtain). Silviculturists working inBritish Columbia’s boreal forest conducted a series ofspacing trials to predict the heights of several species of trees. The data in the table are the breast height diameters (incentimeters) and heights (in meters) for a sample of 36 whitespruce trees.
a. Construct a scattergramfor the data.
b. Assuming the relationshipbetween the variables is best described by a straight line, use themethod of least squares to estimate the y-intercept and slope ofthe line.
c. Plot the least-squaresline on your scattergram.
d. Do the data provide sufficientevidence to indicate that the breast height diameter x contributesinformation for the prediction of tree height y? Test using α= .05
e. Use your least-squares line tofind a 90% confidence interval for the average height of whitespruce trees with a breast height diameter of 20 cm. Interpretthe interval.
