Anthropologists use a linear model that relates femur length to height. The model allows an anthropologist to determine the height of an individual when only a partial skeleton (including the femur) is found. In this problem we find the model by analyzing the data on femur length and height for the ten males given in the table. After running the least squares regression line function, the calculator provided the following equation for the linear model: 9 = 1.923x + 80.68 Data Femur Length (cm) Height (cm) 50.1 178.5 48.3 173.6 45.2 164.8 44.7 163.7 44.5 168.3 42.7 165.0 39.5 155.4 38.0 155.0 • An anthropologist finds a femur of length 46 cm, using the linear model above, the height of the 183.94 person was
