- an you tell how old a lobster is by its size? This question was investigated by the authors of a paper that appeared in the Biological Bulletin (August 2007). Researchers measured carapace (the exterior shell) length of 27 laboratory-raised lobsters of known age. The data on x = carapace length (in mm) and y = age (in years) in the following table were read from a graph that appeared in the paper.

People familiar with these trees understand that the height of a California redwood tree is related to other characteristics of the tree, including the diameter of the tree at the breast height of a person. The data in the table represent the height (in feet) and diameter (in inches) at the breast height of a person for a sample of 21 California redwood trees. Assuming a linear relationship, use the least- squares method to compute the regression coefficients b0 and b1. State the regression equation that predicts the height of a tree based on the tree’s diameter at breast height of a person. Interpret the meaning of the slope in this equation. Predict the mean height for a tree that has a breast height diameter of 25 inches.
