Question: The figure shown to the right contains a scatter plot of 1 0 data points for trees, where the diameter of a tree at breast

The figure shown to the right contains a scatter plot of 10 data points for trees, where the diameter of a tree at breast height (Dbh) is given in inches and the height is given in feet. The regression model is shown below, where x is the Dbh in inches and y is the height in feet.
y=1.12x+0.62
(A) Interpret the slope of the model.
A. The rate of change of height with respect to Dbh is 1.12ftin.
B. The rate of change of height with respect to Dbh is 1.12inft.
C. The rate of change of height with respect to Dbh is 0.62ftin.
D. The rate of change of height with respect to Dbh is 0.62inft.
(B) What is the effect of a 1-Inch increase in Dbh?
A 1 inch increase in Dbh produces a foot increase in height.
(C) Estimate the height of a tree with a Dbh of 15 inches.
y~~ feet
(Round to the nearest foot as needed.)
(D) Estimate the Dbh of a tree that is 25 feet tall.
x~~ inches
(Round to the nearest inch as needed.)
 The figure shown to the right contains a scatter plot of
