<PRE><B>Question 188808</B>
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.
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
