You are interested in predicting the length of someone's nose on the basis of the number of lies a person tells per day (the Pinocchio hypothesis). You collect data from 100 random individuals and find that the mean number of lies told is 12 by age 25 (age limit for sample). Mean nose length among participants is 5.2 cm (bridge to tip). Based on the data, the slope of the relationship is 0.49. What is the y-intercept? (round to two decimal places).
