Question 188808: I am having some trouble with this one question on my homework,would some one please help me,
The data below are the gestation periods, in months, of randomly selected animals and their corresponding life spans, in years.
Gestation, x 8 2.1 1.3 1 11.5 5.3 3.8 24.3
Life span, y 30 12 6 3 25 12 10 40
a. Find the equation of the regression line for the given data. Round the line values to the nearest two decimal places.

b. Using the equation found in part a, predict the life span when the gestation is 10 months. Round to the nearest absence.
I would like to thank you in advance for helping me by using your own time . Thank you very much.

Life span, y 30 12 6 3 25 12 10 40
a. Find the equation of the regression line for the given data. Round the line values to the nearest two decimal places.
Equation: y = 1.5229x +6.3425
--------------------------------
b. Using the equation found in part a, predict the life span when the gestation is 10 months. Round to the nearest absence.
f(10) = 21.572
