When an anthropologist finds skeletal remains, they need to figure out the height of the person. The height of a person (in cm) and the length of their metacarpal bone 1 (in cm) were collected and are in table #10.1.5("Prediction of height," 2013). Create scatter plot and find a regression equation between the height of a person and the length of their metacarpal. Then use the regression equation to find the height of a person for a metacarpal length of 44 cm and for a metacarpal length of 55 cm. Which height that you calculated do you think is closer to the true height of the person? Why?

Length of metacarpal (cm):

41,51,39,41,48,49,46,43,47

Height of person(cm):

171,178,157,163,172,183,173,175,173
