Ev ab General D10 " X V fx A B C D E G H K M N Height Diameter at breast height Bark thickness 13.75 Measuring the height of a California redwood tree is very difficult because these trees grow to 122.0 20 1.1 W N 193.5 36 2.8 heights of over 300 feet. People familiar with these trees understand that the height of a 166.5 18 2.0 California redwood tree is related to other characteristics of the tree, including the diameter 82.0 10 1.2 of the tree at the breast height of a person. The data in Redwood represent the height (in 133.5 21 2.0 156.0 29 1.4 feet) and diameter (in inches) at the breast height of a person for a sample of 21 California 6 00 172.5 51 1.8 redwood trees. 81.0 11 1.1 10 148.0 26 2.5 a. Assuming a linear relationship, use the least-squares method to compute the 11 113.0 12 1.5 12 84.0 13 1.4 regression coefficients bo and by .
