Question

Anthropologists use a linear model that relates femur length to height. The model allows an anthropologist todetermine the height of an individual when only a partial skeleton (including the femur) is found. In this problem, wefind the model by analyzing the data on femur length and height for the eight males given in the table.Femur length (cm)49.948.646.345.844.343.639.738.9Height (cm)177.5174.6165.6164.7165.3164.6155.8156.71.Which scatterplot best matches the given data?A.D.B..•.•

Answer 1

This data suggests an increasing linear model. It suggests a linear model because we have a proportional increase on the height when we have an increase on the femur length.

The option that describes an increasing linear model is option D.
