Question 806795: So I have this question with the following table about the living space recommended for pigs of certain weights:
Weight:40,60,80,100,120,230
Area:2.5,3,3.5,4,5,6,8
How do I write an equation that models the recommended living space as a function of a pig's weight using the information above
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your data is not linear, but it is close to being linear.
You need to do a linear regression on your data.
Also, you have one extra area sample without a matching weight sample.
So, for this data:
Weight: 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 230
Area: 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6
Answer:
Linear regression slope: 0.0185
Linear regression y-intercept: 2.0615
y = 0.0185x + 2.0615
