Question:
The accompanying table relates the weight C of the large claw of a fiddler crab to the weight W of the rest of the crab’s body, both measured in milligrams (mg).
a. For each data point (W, C) in the table, plot the point (ln W, ln C) on a graph. Note that the scatter diagram suggests that y = ln C and x = ln W are linearly related.
b. Find the least-squares line y = mx + b for the data (ln W, ln C) you obtained in part (a).
c. Find positive numbers a and k so that C = aWk.
