Chapter 2, Problem 2.1.1.160(choose chapter or problem)
Keeping Warm For mammals and other warm-blooded animals to stay warm requires quite a bit of energy. Temperature loss is related to surface area, which is related to body weight, and temperature gain is related to circulation, which is related to pulse rate. In the final analysis, scientists have concluded that the pulse rate r of mammals is a power function of their body weight w.
(a) Draw a scatter plot of the data in Table 2.12.
(b) Find the power regression model.
(c) Superimpose the regression curve on the scatter plot.
(d) Use the regression model to predict the pulse rate for a 450-kg horse. Is the result close to the 38 beats/min reported by A. J. Clark in 1927?
