1 Anthropologists use a linear model that relates femur length to height The model allows an anthropologist to determine the height of an individual when only a partial skeleton including the femur is found In this problem we find the model by analyzing the data on femur length and height for the eight males given in the table a Find and graph a linear equation that models the data y b An anthropologist finds a femur of length 58 cm How tall was the person Femur length cm 50 1 48 3 45 2 44 7 44 5 42 7 39 5 Height cm 178 5 173 6 164 8 163 7 168 3 165 0 155 4
