Compare rates of change.

a. the equation below can be used to find the length of a foot or forearm when you know one or the other.

(length of the foot) = 0.860 • (length of the forearm) + 3.302

if you let y = length of the foot and x = length of the forearm, this equation can be simplified to
y = 0.860x + 3.302.

using this equation, how long would the foot of a person be if his forearm was 17 inches long?

b. what is the rate of change of the equation from part a?

compare the equation from part a to your data. are they the same? which has a greater rate of change? why do you think the values are different?

c. is the relation in your data a function? why or why not? could the equation in part a represent a function? why or why not? explain your answer.

Consider the linear model for a two-stage nested design with b nested in a as given below. yijk=\small \mu + \small \taui + \small \betaj(i) + \small \varepsilon(ij)k , for i=1,; j= ; k=1, assumption: \small \varepsilon(ij)k ~ iid n (0, \small \sigma2) ; \small \taui ~ iid n(0, \small \sigmat2 ); \tiny \sum_{j=1}^{b} \small \betaj(i) =0; \small \varepsilon(ij)k and \small \taui are independent. using only the given information, derive the least square estimator of \small \betaj(i) using the appropriate constraints (sum to zero constraints) and derive e(msb(a) ).
