You are the foreman of the Bar-S cattle ranch in Colorado. A neighboring ranch has calves for sale, and you are going to buy some calves to add to the Bar-s herd. How much should a healthy calf weigh? Let x be the age of the calf (in weeks), and let y be the weight of the calf (in klograms). Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Draw a scatter diagram displaying the data.
(b) Find x??? and y??. Then find the equation of the least-squares lene y^?=a+bx. (Round your answers for x? and y?? to two decimal places. Round your answers for a and b to three decimal places.) x?=y??=y^?=? (c) Graph the least-squares line. Be sure to plot the point (x?,y??) as a point on the line.
(d) Find the value of the coefficient of determination r2. What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? What percentage is unexplained? (Round your answer for r2 to three decim places. Round your answers for the percentages to one decimal place.) explained unexplained (e) The calves you want to buy are 21 weeks old. What does the least-squares line predict for a healthy weight? (Round your answer to two decimal placesi) kg
