The body weight and pulse rate of a guinea pig and rabbit are:
animal avg wt(kg) avg pulse(min)
g.pig: 1 250
rabbit: 2.5 265
If the study had included these data, would this change the model relating avg body weight and avg pulse rate? How do you know?
Animal ----- Avg Wt------ Avg pulse
g.pig-----------1------------250
rabbit---------2.5-----------265
If the study had included these data, would this change the model relating avg body weight and avg pulse rate? Explain.
Animal ----- Avg Wt------ Avg pulse
g.pig-----------1------------250
rabbit---------2.5-----------265
To determine if the inclusion of the guinea pig and rabbit data would change the model relating average body weight and average pulse rate, we can compare the existing data with the new data.
Currently, the available data shows that a guinea pig with an average body weight of 1 kg has an average pulse rate of 250 beats per minute. Similarly, a rabbit with an average body weight of 2.5 kg has an average pulse rate of 265 beats per minute.
If the new data included the guinea pig and rabbit data, the data points would be added to the existing dataset. By examining the overall dataset, we can determine if the relationship between average body weight and average pulse rate changes.
To do this, we can plot the existing data points on a graph with average body weight on the x-axis and average pulse rate on the y-axis. We can then add the new data points to the graph and observe if there are any noticeable changes.
If the original data points fit a certain trend or pattern, we can trace the best-fit line through them. The slope and position of this line represent the model for the relationship between average body weight and average pulse rate.
Once we add the guinea pig and rabbit data to the graph, we can examine if the new data points align with the existing trend and if the best-fit line remains similar or changes significantly. If the new data points fall in line with the existing trend and the best-fit line remains relatively unchanged, then the model relating average body weight and average pulse rate would not be significantly altered.
In summary, to determine if the model relating average body weight and average pulse rate would change with the inclusion of guinea pig and rabbit data, we need to plot the data points on a graph and observe if the trend and best-fit line of the existing data remain consistent with the inclusion of the new data.
