Anthropologists use a linear model that relates human femur (thighbone) 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. Here we find the model by analyzing the data on femur length and height for the eight males given in the following table. Femur length (cm) Height (cm) Femur length (cm) Height (cm) 50.1 178.5 44.5 168.3 48.3 173.6 42.7 165.0 45.2 164.8 39.5 155.4 44.7 163.7 38
