Question
Bighorn sheep are found in the mountainous western United States. In the following data, x = the age of bighorn sheep in years and y = the percentage of that age group that die during the course of a year (mortality rate). In the table below, when x = 5, y = 20 meaning that 20% of the sheep aged between 5 and 6 years old die. A random sample of sheep provided the following information:
x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
y | 14 | 18.9 | 14.4 | 19.6 | 20 |
∑ x = 15 ; ∑ y = 86.9 ; ∑ x 2 = 55 ; ∑ y 2 = 1544.73 ; ∑ x y = 273.4
