Expert Solution
Step 1

The brain-body mass ratio, commonly referred to as the brain-body weight ratio, is the ratio of brain mass to body mass. It is considered to be an approximate indicator of an animal's intelligence, albeit it is frequently rather wrong. Encephalization quotient, a more intricate statistic, accounts for the allometric consequences of drastically different body sizes among various species.
