(i) It seems that as area increases, the number of species
[ Select ]
. So the regression line, which is
not shown on the graph, would go bottom left to top right.
(ii) If we used the linear model to predict the number of endemic
species on an island whose area was 1.5 sq.km, then the predicted
number would be closest to [ Select ]
(ii) If R2 for the simple linear model was 43.9%, what was the
linear correlation coefficient for the data?
[ Select ]
(iv) None of the options here is the correct equation of the
regression line. However, your task here is to select the most likely
option. [ Select ]
