Intrigued by a 2013 study at the University of Nebraska that suggested marijuana smokers may be thinner than other adults, a group of students did a project to explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and amount of time spent under the influence of marijuana (measured in hours per week). Based on a random sample of 33 students at their university, they used BMI as the response variable. The equation of the least-squares regression line is: hours per month under influence = 49.2−1.15 BMI. Also, r2=0.134 .

this question is incomplete, the complete question is:

1. is this model effective

2. what is the correlation coefficient for this data.

3. for a student with a bmi of 25, what is the predicted number of hours under the influence.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. first of all this model is not effective because we have r² as 0.134. this tells us that only 13.4 percent of the of the variations that exist in this data has been explained by the model

1. we get the correlation coefficient by

the regression slope coefficient has a negative sign. this is what we would use in calculating the correlation coefficient.

= -√0.134

= -0.366

therefore the correlation coefficient is -0.366

2. to get the number of hours under the influence with a bmi of 25

the equation is

49.2-1.15bmi

= 49.2-1.15(25)

= 49.2-28.75

= 20.45

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
