Lists body masses in grams for 20 mammal species, and their corresponding base metabolic rate in Watts.

Copy the data into your preferred spreadsheet program, perform a natural log transform of both the base metabolic rates and the body masses of the mammals to improve the linear relationship, and then perform a linear regression on the data using the trendline feature.

Use the linear regression equation to estimate (based on these data) what the base metabolic rate of a human of 40.31 kilograms is likely to be.

Some hints and suggestions:

Remember that your variables have been transformed, so you will need to account for this as you find the base rate in Watts.
When answering, input only digits, with no spaces, and round to two decimal places.

I got this wrong but the correct answer is shown above, can someone please walk me through this problem?

The resumâ´es of two male applicants for a college teaching position in chemistry are placed in the same file as the resumâ´es of two female applicants. two positions become available, and the first, at the rank of assistant professor, is filled by selecting one of the four applicants at random. the second position, at the rank of instructor, is then filled by selecting at random one of the remaining three applicants. using the notation m2f1, for example, to denote the simple event that the first position is filled by the second male applicant and the second position is then filled by the first female applicant, (a) list the elements of a sample space s; (b) list the elements of s corresponding to event a that the position of assistant professor is filled by a male applicant; (c) list the elements of s corresponding to event b that exactly one of the two positions is filled by a male applicant; (d) list the elements of s corresponding to event c that neither position is filled by a male applicant; (e) list the elements of s corresponding to the event a â© b; (f) list the elements of s corresponding to the event a âş c; (g) construct a venn diagram to illustrate the intersections and unions of the events a, b, and c.
