Bayhan, etal., Turkish Journal of Veterinary and Animal Science, 2005:1013–1018) models therelationship between weight W and length L of spotted flounder as W = aLb where a and bare constants to be estimated from data. Transform this equation to produce a linear model.

- The article "Experimental Measurement of Radiative Heat Transfer in Gas-Solid Suspension Flow System" (G. Han, K. Tuzla, and J. Chen, AIChe Journal, 2002:1910- 1916) discusses the calibration of a radiometer. Several measurements were made on the electromotive force readings of the radiometer (in volts) and the radiation flux (in kilowatts per square meter). The results (read from a graph) are presented in the following table.

Samples of Sargassum were taken at 5, 10, 15 m from the shore and these were examined for amphipods and isopods. The observations are recorded below. Is the distribution of each of the organisms with regards to the shore the same at all three distances? Use the data below to test the hypothesis at the p < 0.05 level. Clearly state the hypotheses and interpret the results.
