In the article Reproductive Biology of the Aquatic Salamander Amphiuma tridactylum in Louisiana (Journal of Herpetology [1999]: 100105), 14 female salamanders were studied. Using regression, the researchers predicted y clutch size (number of salamander eggs) from x snout-vent length (in centimeters) as follows: For the salamanders in the study, the range of snout-vent lengths was approximately 30 to 70 cm. a. What is the value of the y intercept of the least-squares line? What is the value of the slope of the least-squares line? Interpret the slope in the context of this problem. b. Would you be reluctant to predict the clutch size when snout-vent length is 22 cm? Explain.
