question 7

A biologist is interested in how the circumference of a tree is associated with its height. Statistics software was used to conduct a simple linear regression for the relationship between diameters and the height of trees in Raleigh, NC. Both perimeters and circumferences were measured in feet. The following equation for the regression line was given: HEIGHT = 2.18 + 13.634 * CIRCUMFERENCE If the circumference of a tree is 0.5278 feet, what is the predicted height of this tree? Give your answer to the three decimal places. For help on how to input a numeric answer, please see "Instructions for inputting a numeric response
