Use the following table to answer questions 1 - 4. Anthropologists use a linear model that relates femur length to height. The model allows an anthropologist to
determine the height of an individual when only a partial skeleton (including the femur) is found. In this problem, we
find the model by analyzing the data on femur length and height for the eight males given in the table.
Femur length (cm) Height (cm) Y
49.9
177.5
48.6

Y = 1.88% + 82.65
Y= 1.88 (S8) +82-65
