Question
Bighorn sheep are found in the mountainous western United States. In the following data, x = the age of bighorn sheep in years and y = the percentage of that age group that die during the course of a year (mortality rate). In the table below, when x = 5, y = 20 meaning that 20% of the sheep aged between 5 and 6 years old die. A random sample of sheep provided the following information:
x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
y | 14 | 18.9 | 14.4 | 19.6 | 20 |
∑ x = 15 ; ∑ y = 86.9 ; ∑ x 2 = 55 ; ∑ y 2 = 1544.73 ; ∑ x y = 273.4
Find the regression equation. Fill in the blank: ŷ = ______ in the form ŷ = mx + b.

OA. These data are fairly symmetric and do not have outliers, and the median and interquartile range provide more reliable information in these circumstances. B. Some of these data have outliers and/or are skewed, and the median and interquartile range amplify the effects of outliers and skewness. OC. Some of these data have outliers and/or are skewed, and the median and interquartile range are resistant to outliers. OD.
