Concept explainers
(a)
The relationship between brain weight y and age t is linear.
(a)
Answer to Problem 98E
The linear equation is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The average weight of male child’s brain is 970grams at age 1 and 1270 grams at age 3.
Formula used:
Calculation:
Let y represents the average weight of a male child’s brain at age
The slope of line is
Using the point slope form the equation is
Therefore the linear equation is
Conclusion:
The linear equation is
(b)
The slope and explain about the brain weight.
(b)
Answer to Problem 98E
The slope is positive represents one unit change in the age of the child’s brain weight.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The average weight of male child’s brain is 970grams at age 1 and 1270 grams at age 3.
Formula used:
Calculation:
The slope of linear equation is 150. Since the slope is positive, it represents that for one unit change in age the child’s brain weight increased by 150 gm.
Conclusion:
The slope is positive represents one unit change in the age of the child’s brain weight.
(c)
The model to estimate the average brain at age 2.
(c)
Answer to Problem 98E
The average brain weight at age 2 is 1120
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The average weight of male child’s brain is 970grams at age 1 and 1270 grams at age 3.
Formula used:
Calculation:
To find the average brain weight at age 2, substitute
Therefore the average brain weight at age 2 is 1120.
Conclusion:
The average brain weight at age 2 is 1120
(d)
The actual average brain weight at the age 2.
(d)
Answer to Problem 98E
The actual and estimated weight is same
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The average weight of male child’s brain is 970grams at age 1 and 1270 grams at age 3.
Calculation:
Using library, internet and some other sources we found that the average brain weight of a male child is 1120 grams.
The actual and estimated weight is same.
Conclusion:
The actual and estimated weight is same
(e)
The average brain weight of an adult.
(e)
Answer to Problem 98E
The average brain weight of an adult is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The average weight of male child’s brain is 970grams at age 1 and 1270 grams at age 3.
Formula used:
Calculation:
The model
Adult
The average brain weight of an adult is
Conclusion:
The average brain weight of an adult is
