Use this equation to predict the height of a kitten whose sibling is 41.3 inches tall and whose mother is 44.9 inches tall. 58.65 inches 53.61 inches 43.83 inches Correct! 42.75 inches (CO 6) The equation used to predict how many days it takes a 15-year old to read the first Harry Potter book is ŷ = 1.5 + 2.82x1 – 1.04x2 days, where x1 weekly hours of other activities and x2 is the reading grade level. Use this equation to predict how many days it will take to read this book for someone with 10.3 weekly hours of other activities and a 10.5 reading grade level. Correct! 17.6 days 20.8 days 20.4 days Show Less
