From the table given in the question
We can compute the regression line equation as shown below
Using a graphing calculator, the equation is
[tex]y_{}=1.04079x+61.9163[/tex]The data is modeled by
[tex]y_{}=1.04079x+61.9163[/tex]The approximate height of the tree whose diameter is 22 inches can be obtained by substituting x =22 into the equation.
We can also get the answer from the graph by also plotting x=22 on the same graph and then getting point of intersection.
From the graph, the height is 84.814 feet
Approximately, the height is about 85 feet.
Since the regression model is 0.95, this indicates that it is a positive and good model of the data.
