Question 7 • Statistical Reasoning
Substitute Length = 11 into the regression equation: ln(predicted Weight) = −5.28 + 3.44 ln(11) ≈ 2.969. Since the equation gives the natural log of the weight, exponentiate: predicted Weight = e^2.969 ≈ 19.47 ounces. The expected weight is 19.47 ounces, choice D.
