The relationship between the length of an adult’s femur (thigh bone) and the height of the adult can be approximated by the linear equations
Where
A crime scene investigator discovers a femur belonging to an adult human female. The bone is
Calculation:
Here, we will consider the following information:
The relationship between the lengths of a female femur(thigh bone) and the height of the adult can be approximated by the linear equation:
Thus,
Now, to estimate the height we will substitute
Now, add
Now, divide both sides by
Thus, value of
Hence, the estimated height of the female is
